There are tons of pedestrian bridges in Hong Kong, for instance [0]. This is over a complicated intersection with a large street that has a lot of bus traffic, so it makes more sense for people to go up and over to cross the street rather than for there to be ground-level crossings with confusing traffic patterns. Hong Kong is very pedestrian friendly. [0] http://static.panoramio.com/photos/large/45505811.jpg http://static.panoramio.com/photos/large/45505811.jpg
