by walking on unsafe streets . With the number of vehicles travelling roads that range from highways down to narrow streets increasing every year , the proportion of the number of injuries related to road accidents increase with the an surmounting degree . Research shows that in 2002 about 43 ,000 small children whose age group belongs to 14 and below were brought to the emergency section of hospitals all-over the country due to injuries sustained from walking on streets , and that only a quarter of these accidents were not related to the vehicles travelling on such roads

Therefore , the problems that have arisen from these events must necessarily be addressed for it involves human lives and the welfare of the general public , not to mention the children . In to deter the existing hazards to the lives of people , it is strongly encourage that pedestrians ought to stay on sidewalks . Sidewalks are designed to provide pedestrians a safer path to travel especially in times when road traffic is voluminous and that the rate of the speed of passing vehicles is fast . This will be effective in securing the welfare of the pedestrians for the reason that it preempts instances of vehicle-related injuries as well as injuries caused by other pedestrians
