It's incredible how much space is given to a few people in motor vehicles vs so many more people on foot or wheels. It's a vast inequity.

Nowhere is this more stark than #ShibuyaCrossing; the world's busiest pedestrian crossing with as many as 3,000 people crossing at a time. Compared to around 12 cars fromone direction of the junction in one sequence. #Urbanism #CitiesForPeople

@velobetty why don't they just make a bridge?

@dao @velobetty There are bridges and underground walkways here, too. Bottom left (I think) is one of the world’s busiest railway/subway stations. The original poster’s point remains true, or, perhaps, is enhanced, by knowing that there are other, very crowded, ways of getting around this exceptionally busy area.
