I definitely feel so annoyed by the 2 wheelers while walking. Do you relate to it too?
Idk whether you all can relate here as many are from the Western countries but here in India and many of South Asia in general, many people use 2 wheelers like motorcycles and scooters. The motorcycles are mostly 100 cc to 150 cc some up to 200 cc too. Yeah most people in India use 2 wheelers as they are budget friendly, cheap and convenient especially for many Indian roads but nowadays at 25, I feel annoyed by them. Even though I often visit the Central and more cosmopolitan areas of our city Bangalore in India, I still stay in this residential area Munnekolala of our city which is like the typical chaotic Indian neighborhood.
The roads are unwalkable often and the 2 wheelers are one of the worst. Munnekolala and especially this road named SGR Dental college road are terrible. The SGR Dental road is narrow but has a railway gate and lots of vehicles and shops which makes it very congested and the sidewalks are broken or narrow or uneven and some roads are even dug up at times for water pipelines. But yeah the motorcycles sucks. The motorcycles riders suddenly zoom past or can enter any corner or even go on sidewalks. The motorcycle riders honk so much that they are so annoying and irritating to me. Sometimes I get so angry that I wish 2 wheelers could be banned in India.
I have to always be in threat detection mode in those roads as a motorcycle can come from anywhere, bad sidewalks, stray dogs sleeping on road, other vehicles and add the dust and heat too. The motorcycles and scooters can come from anywhere and any direction which means I can't even enjoy a good walk while listening to music on earphones. People also might bump into you due to less space for walking. Another irritating thing is the autorickshaws(which many of you might call tuktuks) which are 3 wheelers and they are everywhere in Bangalore but in Munnekolala they suddenly stopped at the sidewalk which also makes walking difficult. What do you feel?
