Off topic: Are there any countries more hostile to pedestrians than the US?

• floren 5y ago
  India sure felt like it... no such thing as a sidewalk, and the street is a nightmare of cars, tuktuks dodging around the cars, and motorcycles dodging around the tuktuks and cars. But I was just visiting; maybe if you live there it feels safe, I don't know.

    Although by the numbers the roads in India are certainly much less safe than e.g. the US, it's not as unsafe as it looks for people who are used to it. Along with other countries with 'chaotic' roads, staying safe on the road in India comes more from drivers (and pedestrians) generally having very good situational awareness, rather than from strict adherance to a set of rules.

    Amusingly as the cars approach infinity they become slower and slower and it becomes relatively easier to navigate them.

  Plenty of countries just model their suburbs after the U.S.. Canada is just like the U.S. most modern suburbs in europe are built with stroads and highways like modern suburbs in orange county, too. American style suburbs are found all over the world to be honest. You can find pockets of huge homes and stroads from Indonesia to Pakistan.
