The Footpath Initiative

The Footpath Initiative is an urban project aimed at improving #pedestrian safety in Indian #cities.

[The Footpath Initiative @thefootpaths]

602 #pedestrians killed in 568 fatal crashes between 2017 and 2019 within #GHMC limits. More than half of the victims hit by vehicles while crossing the road.

Safety. Of the riders and others on the road.

All other answers are just wrong.

What's stopping you from doing this with your partner

[The Footpath Initiative @thefootpaths]

Ideal if walking in our cities was as stimulating.
Unfortunate that we must instead constantly focus on not ending up in a life-threatening collision with a vehicle.

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

All those economic rationalisations aside, here is why I am here in a village. This is my walk, here's where I do my thinking.

The ponds are full and the rice paddies planted. Heavenly. 🙏

[The Footpath Initiative @thefootpaths]

Why is the two-wheeler using a zebra crossing meant for pedestrians?

And why cross the road so instead of riding to the next U-turn?

[Addl CP Traffic @AddlCPTrHyd]

Kindly cross the road carefully after seeing all the sides and when traffic is less. One minute Wait can save the Life. Wearing helmet is another necessity as per Law also. Don’t forget someone is waiting for you at Home. Stay Safe.⁦@HYDTP⁩

Worried at such life-threatening events being common. This was in #Hyderabad. #PedestrianSafety

[Sai Ratna Chaitanya @CityOrdinary]

I have had quite a few close calls. I joke about this when I'm low - that I want to be run over by a car but in reality there is a lot to live for. Today, while crossing the road at Jaihind enclave one moron almost ran over me.

[The Footpath Initiative @thefootpaths]

“#Pedestrian infrastructure” is an oxymoron.  In a place that’s hospitable to people and walking pedestrians don’t need separate “infrastructure”

Thanks, @Joe_Cortright. We couldn't agree more!

Which are the most dangerous roads for pedestrians in Hyderabad?

[The Footpath Initiative @thefootpaths]

@_pavithrasriram Entry restrictions for heavy vehicles have been in place for some time in the city. But - https://t.co/AahMgTivLG

[The Footpath Initiative @thefootpaths]

This is promising, @chennaicorp!

[Jajjanaka @sewrie]

While awaiting response, another toilet on footpath. This is opp to Gachibowli Stadium gate. The only good thing is that there is some space to walk unlike the one opposite to Aparna Serene Park.
@Director_EVDM
@CEC_EVDM , Could you do something about these new encroachments?

[Jajjanaka @sewrie]

@KTRTRS , @arvindkumar_ias , Who on earth would build toilets on footpath! This footpath is mostly used by senior citizens for morning/evening walks. You just denied their right to walk!

@CommissionrGHMC
Loc: Opp to Aparna Serene Park, Masjid Banda, #Kondapur, #Hyderabad

[The Footpath Initiative @thefootpaths]

@raneunn @CityOrdinary Oh yes!

[The Footpath Initiative @thefootpaths]

Ideal road space allocation!

Plus, we're naturally thrilled at there being hardly any conflict points between #pedestrians and vehicles. #win
