Video Clip, what is it?

Maybe a clear definition of what is a road (for cars) and what is a sidewalk (for people) is a crazy idea?

No belive me that maybe should be applied to society

Where have you been all your life that you are so shocked by a road that isn't always open to all traffic? I see roads all the time with posts sticking out that are held in place with padlocks. I see roads with gates drawn across them, where an authorized driver can open the gate, drive through, then close the gate, while a pedestrian can just walk around it. This is the same thing, but automatic.

Arlington, Texas. We don't drive on the sidewalk, or walk in the middle of the road.

I find it hard to believe that in all of Arlington, TX, there isn't a road that has some sort of roadblock preventing unauthorized vehicles from using it. Aren't there any public parks where park service or city maintenance people can drive on the paths?

Perhaps, but the funny thing is, there wouldn't be any reason for people to sneak their cars through - if the road doesn't go anywhere.
A service path at a park is neither a public road during certain hours, nor a death trap during others, nor a sidewalk for foot traffic.

Then they wouldn't bother putting up a barrier.

Well, it often is a sidewalk for foot traffic that is also wide enough for an authorized vehicle to drive on. And if someone tries to drive through the roadblock when it is closed, and finds it sturdier than their vehicle, you could call it a deathtrap if you were so inclined. Being open to public traffic at certain times may be uncommon, but certainly not unheard of.

Who, or what, are you arguing with: your own posts, or reality itself?

How in the world do you cross the street? Bridges at every intersection? Jet packs? Teleportation?

And where are your garages? In the middle of the street?

There are places where the vehicles are not allowed. The parameters vary, time, location, private, public, service, etc.

We have something called a "crosswalk" which consists of stripes painted on the road. It seems to work just fine.

On private property.

Apparently, this is not always the case. glatt has had direct experience with cars driving on sidewalks

So why isn't he up in arms, ready to smash these cars with invisible battering rams, giving whiplash to innocent toddlers in car seats?
