Weekend at San Jose I like the retro style of civil planning in some of the European cities. There are special pedestrian area (usu. downtown ) where no cars are allowed. People walk around cafes, shops, department stores, rivers, bridges, stands, kiosks, etc. In Shanghai, there are some "walking-only" streets too. |

Weekend at San Jose In big cities such as SF and NYC, there are many pedestrians who would cross the street at a red light if they think/see there's no coming traffic. I guess people adapt to their living environment. In most of the US cities, it would be a luxury for people to ditch their cars and walk, thus you see few pedestrians on the road. It would be really easy and natural to give them the right of way. However in big cities like San Francisco or New York, there are so many pedestrians in some of the areas, you would see similar situations as what you would see in most of the places in China. That's it. In the past, there were few cars on the road while lots and lots and lots of slender pedestrians. Now there are way too many cars and obese people. Not sure if it is good or bad. |
