THE MOST VULNERABLE ROAD USER AND THE ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENT

Due to the growth of the total number of cars, the pedestrian is becoming oppressed in an increasingly hazardous way. Roads are widened at the cost of the footpath, parking spaces are laid out at the cost of greenery and playgrounds, wide crossroads for motor traffic are the order of the day, but the construction of under- and overpasses for pedestrians is being neglected more and more. The government should give attention to the construction of pavements and zebra crossings, the location of schools, homes for the elderly, connecting roads to shopping centres etc. /TRRL/
