Why Every City Should Have Pedestrian Plazas

By Mattie Knight


People loves to think that everything can just be within their reach, that distance is not an issue at all. Its really know to think you can go to your favorite places without the burden of using any vehicles. Because of this, a specific place for walking has been mandated. People wont worry on bumping into a car as they stroll the area.

Places which promote more on walking should be made have a bigger part in the city. This can help them to look good and also feel good. Pedestrian plazas are good alternatives to malls and even to some famous attractions. Imagine, you wont need to pay something just to enjoy the whole beauty of the place.

These plazas have already been existing before industrial age. As a matter of fact, before humans learned how to drive, strolling has already been popular to many. When you say pedestrian zones, these are specific locations wherein no vehicles are allowed to enter. They will be forced to walk the whole place and enjoy the scenery. This looks a little tiresome but its definitely a fun way to do.

People who have tried strolling in those zones have found great advantages on it. Aside from being a wonderful form of exercise, its also a means of having a fresh air to breath. This also adds up to their joy and makes living very satisfactory. As a matter of fact, people who are aged above forty prefer to enjoy these plazas than staying at home. Theres indeed big difference when going to somehow else.

In the case of the citys welfare, these zones really helps a lot. Its lessens the effects of air pollution within the area since smoke form cars are no longer visible. The community becomes better since people starts to talk and care for one another. The city will surely be a nice place to live and will definitely attract more businesses to invest.

Not all plazas are the same. Other plazas allow feet powered transport such as skateboards, bicycles and scooters. Few wont allow thing with wheels unless there are used for carrying stuff such as push carts and even baby strollers. You have to be more familiar with it to know if what are the restrictions on that certain place.

The question now is can new generation people easily adapt to it. Since most of them are really used to have their cars, it would be a little difficult to let them walk for a longer time but it is very doable. They just need to be more diligent with it and find a way on how to make it more fun. Other people may not really survive the long walk so having plenty of chairs to rest is really convenient for them.

All the things have their own advantages and disadvantages. You have to balance everything to check its really good for many. Keep in mind that youre not alone in living in a certain place. There will always be something good and bad about it.

If having the zones are really necessary, then dont be afraid to voice out. Its a way of letting the leaders know that the people have all the rights live well. This might not be done promptly but it will slowly change as time goes by.
