With ever increasing numbers of people, motorbikes, cars, trucks and whatever it is hard to see solutions for all the problems that go with this.
The long stretch of Jalan Uluwatu in Jimbaran has completed a process of better sealing of the road and thebroken and dangerous footpaths are now well laid. (More or less.)
This has made the footpaths much more attractive to motorcyclists. As a pedestrian I take care and do not change direction precipitously and most motorcyclists will go back on the road when they see you coming. Of course there is also the hazard of parked cars and repair shops who see the footpath as an extension of their work place so that one has to step onto road to get around them. Apart from allowing pedestrians to carry guns and being allowed to shoot those using footpaths improperly it hard to imagine things getting better. Brilliant ideas anyone?
