According to some research, pavements are the durable surface material laid down on an area intended to sustain vehicular or foot traffic, such as a road or walkway.
And a road is a thoroughfare, route, or way on land between two places that has been paved or otherwise improved to allow travel by foot or by some form of conveyance.
Roads consist of one or two roadways, each with one or more lanes and any associated sidewalks and road verges.
I felt the need of searching for the descriptions of a pavement and a road to make my explanation more clear. I usually find myself wondering what people attend to purposely place themselves in danger.
I see people of all ages avoiding pavements, walking in the street. They avoid perfectly good pavement to walk on and worse, they teach their innocent children that placing themselves in that situation is alright.
The people who do this give motorists a hard time, they walk slower and look at them as if that’s their basic human right.
They create conflict for no apparent reason.
Why do more and more people use the roads instead of a pavement that is pretty safe, wide enough, and all-around usable?
