Liverpool have implemented a genius idea, ‘fast lanes’ for pedestrian who want to avoid slow walkers or are in a rush.
Liverpool decided to implement the pedestrian ‘fast lane’ in a bid to ease congestion on footpaths and to just make getting through the city an all round nicer experience. Britain’s first ever fast pedestrian lane has opened on one of Liverpool’s busiest shopping streets.
Argos conducted research that claims 47% of the UK finds slow walking the most annoying aspect of high-street shopping, before installing the lanes. A total of 69% of 16 to 24 year-olds support the plan, compared to just 37% of over-55s
Providing a system like this, particularly around the College Green area of Dublin City would be a welcome addition.
