    City. You think that’s a city, it is a tiny North Yorkshire town. It’s roads were built in the 5th century or something and were made to accommodate horse and cart. If this was some major city in the US you might have a bit more of a point.

      That road is wide enough to fit 3 cars wide in its current state. The age of the roadway is irrelevant, they could have designated more space to pedestrians and still accommodate 2 lanes worth of car traffic.

        It’s an interestingly selective picture that. We can’t even see the other side. Every single time I have ever seen a road like that with a tiny pavement on one side, it’s always because there is a full sized one on the other.

        This faux outrage is ridiculous, by all means call out crappy design when it’s present, but don’t take random pictures off street view out of context and arbitrarily get mad about them.
