    Have to admit I was a bit surprised to discover that "Shared Path" applies to cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers of large parked vans!

    Yet another example of how values driver convenience above pedestrian safety. With no crosswalk and two directions of incoming cars, it's too dangerous to film my sprint across. No wonder so few people walk here, but hopefully the will help.

    "As in colonial times, the Afghan-Pakistan borderlands occupied an important space in the minds of local and foreign officials, although historians of Pakistan, Afghanistan, decolonization, and the Cold War largely have overlooked the region" (104).

    No cycling beyond this point. That's it. That's the sign.

    Enjoyed a lovely walk today from to the , but the trail crosses a busy road with no crosswalk. Run between the cars if you can when you dare, even on a countryside hike!

    "On first glance, it wasn't evident how a sweeping epic about the doomed love between Yuri Zhivago and Lara Antipova could be used as a weapon, but the Agency was always creative" (167).

    Have to admit it took me a while to figure out that this sign must mean "Engine Idlers Club Meets Here, Mornings and Afternoons, Monday to Friday (holidays excepted)."

    Safety first....just don't forget: the onus is always, and exclusively, on the pedestrian!

    Thank god those in charge designed this sidewalk to narrow to nearly nothing. It's dangerous and exclusionary, sure. But one shudders to contemplate the dystopian alternative: a society that asked drivers to give a thought to their speed when exiting roundabouts.

    Confusing sign. Seems to mean "Dear Driver: sorry for the intrusion, especially if you've just had to look up from your phone, but although children live around here, please proceed at whatever speed you like and feel free to park and idle on the sidewalk."

    I mean why inconvenience drivers with a crosswalk at a pedestrian crossing like this one when you can just suggest that they go "slow?"
