Panama's sidewalk infrastructure: an unresolved issue
Walking around the Republic of Panama is a challenge due to the sidewalks. It is common to encounter an uneven path or not to encounter one at all. Most of the sidewalks are filled with holes and bumps making it a difficult path to walk. In some places, sidewalks are nonexistent, forcing people to share the road with vehicles, increasing the risk of an accident. Sidewalks are a matter that needs to be addressed, a bad infrastructure can lead to potential injuries and car accidents; the improvement of these can provide multiple benefits as pedestrian safety and encourage a better lifestyle.
