Walking is good for both health and the environment.<\/p>\n
Here are a few ideas upon what might be done to encourage
\npeople to use their feet.<\/p>\n
– Install Pedestrian Shelters at all traffic lights.<\/p>\n
The is nothing worst that just waiting & waiting in the rain
\nfor the lights to change in order that one might walk
\nacross the road.<\/p>\n
– Make all Traffic Lights work with a Pedestrian
\nPreference, and timed so that one came reach the
\ndiagonally opposite part of the road junction.<\/p>\n
– Larger and more luggage racks on all buses.
\nThis would encourage more people to go shopping via the
\nbus.<\/p>\n
– No VAT or Purchase tax upon Backpacks, Walking Shoes or
\nWalking Boots.<\/p>\n
&<\/p>\n
– A crackdown upon all those who cause obstructions upon
\nthe pavements, or who pavement park.<\/p>\n
This is something which the UK Pedestrian Association has
\nbeen campaigning upon for many a year.<\/p>\n
