Ok but please clean your sidewalks, people. Don't use the environment as an excuse to be a bad neighbor. We still need to use the sidewalks.
It is strange to me, that sidewalks aren’t public property and are managed (and cleaned) like the streets in other countries 😄
They are public property and designed and built by the municipalities in many places. The cities and towns just prefer to offload the cleaning part to who every lives in front of a section of sidewalk.
Let's call it "Civic Duty" and your chance to do something nice and beneficial for your neighborhood.
In Brazil the property owner is responsible for everything up to the edge of the road in a lot of places, including building and maintaining sidewalks....they go to shit and nobody fixes them lol
In the US, it's the opposite.
People typically don't own land a few feet in between them and the street.
I have crashed my escooter on slippery wet leaves. They were too slippery to steer.
Now I ride my bike instead I haven't had that problem as the roads are swept
Probably depending on the country and according legislature, but as a pedestrian, I often wish for more scooters to take to the road as well. In most aspects they are very equivalent to bicycles and just as fast and dangerous. Worst of all are those scooter drivers who switch between road and sidewalk with every traffic light.
We're required to keep on footpaths on scooters here (Canberra). The only roads we're allowed to scoot on are the most minor ones with no centre line, the leaves were on a concrete footpath and it had rained
ASSuming you still have one left...
