        Heard the police stops and asks you what your’re doing/ if you need a ride when you walk in the US

          I wouldn’t say it’s that bad. At least not where I live.

          Mostly I see completely half-assed attempts at walkable infrastructure such as:

          • Sidewalks that just end
          • Bike lanes that say “lane ends, merge with traffic” on a 45mph (72km/h) road right before an underpass with no shoulder.
          • Crosswalks only ever mile or so, so you either have to walk a mile out of your way, or get yelled at for “jaywalking.”
          • Bike lockup outside a furniture store that’s surrounded by 10 acres of parking lot where the nearest residence is like 10 miles away.
          • 3ft wide lanes with person figures painted on them on the side of the road because a white line is enough to protect pedestrians.
          • 3ft wide bike lanes on the inside curve of an uphill 45mph road with sharp turns and a steep concrete embankment on the side.
