In Japan, many cities don’t even have sidewalks—pedestrians share the same space with cars/bikes/motorcycles. Because everybody understands that it's a shared space, people drive cautiously, resulting in safer streets. Sometimes separation is not the answer!
- eyelidlessness 3y agoWell, that’s great for people in those cities in Japan, but it doesn’t do me much good in my own city where car and scooter drivers are not remotely so cautious.
- jinushaun 3y agoWorks the same in NYC. Cars are more careful because otherwise they’d hit cyclists, pedestrians, scooters and skateboarders. Can’t say the same about other US cities.
