Perils of Walking

Walking along the streets in most of Amman is perilous. To avoid the sidewalks, which is inevitable, many people walk in the roads and the drivers will not slow down if there is a pedestrian on the road. On the contrary, they blow their horn and speed up. Walking is dangerous and one typically treats it like an obstacle course. No wonder no one exercises. You will seldom see a jogger, runner, bicyclist, or someone out for a leisurely stroll.

The photos contained below are the main roads. One day, I'll take photos of the side streets. To see photos, click on the link below:
