FOOT PATHS AND PEDESTRIANS
The ordeal of a woman who had to be rescued by firemen after her leg was caught in a broken slab at Thampanoor in Thiruvananthapuram has exposed the plight of pedestrians on our roads. Footpaths are exclusively for pedestrains. Shops, mobile or stationary, should not be allowed on the foot paths.unloading of building material on them should be strictly prohibited. The police should be authorized to take action against any such activity. Many slabs are damaged because vehicles are parked on them. In our state most of cities and towns were lack of proper facilities signals and paths for pedestrians. Broken and damaged slabs of Foot paths should be replaced with new ones and their maintence ensured at regular intervals. Pedestrian safety should be monitored by the police Some time Foot paths are encroached on by arches. Traffic regulations should be made more strignt with the help of state of the art & technologies.
