Shops & buildings: 15 of the most infamously crooked sidewalks on the planet

H/T Adam Kaufman

Many of our pedestrians are not appreciating the architecture or design of this sidewalk in Covent Garden in London, Britain.

H/T @islander

Using its walkways as lavatories isn’t good, especially in city centres. London has roads strewn with waste areas.

H/T @Islander

Your footprints weren’t just left in this sidewalk in Barcelona, Spain. The location of your footprint is a busy intersection.

H/T @Islander

These sidewalks are sprawled out in New York.

H/T @Islander

And in Paris.

H/T @Islander

In Toronto, where the sidewalks are narrow and accessible only by footpath. And no sidewalks anywhere but the 5-400 centimetre range in our photos. Toronto is cracking down on walkways.

H/T @amynicolattore

Remember this walkway in Atlanta?

H/T @adam_kaufman

Walkways in Jakarta. It seems like just the other day we were in Bangkok.

H/T @jehanneman

This sidewalk was in Boston.

H/T @samrefs

In Buenos Aires.

H/T @samrefs

In Baja California.

H/T @jehanneman

It’s awful enough that restaurants feature only chairs on sidewalks, but eating outside? You had better be brave.

H/T @samrefs

At least this sidewalk in Guangzhou is wide. Not like this one in London.

H/T @samrefs

In Ottawa.

H/T @samrefs

If the sidewalks aren’t enough, it’s not hard to walk directly into traffic.

H/T @jehanneman

And all this photo-editing. No wonder people are terrified to walk on these sidewalks.

H/T @islander

At least these sidewalks are green.

H/T @jehanneman

Or white.

In Hong Kong, trees are where parking stalls should be. (Source: Nam K. Wong/AP)

Yet trees are about to be chopped to make way for planters, while the sidewalk remains untouched.

H/T @jehanneman

For years it has been bike lanes in big cities.

Boris Johnson’s foray into Wales highlights how the UK government is pushing for “zero waste” but refuses to accept the UK has too little space to accommodate people using public sidewalks.
