Educated people can display ignorance when their comfort removes them the ability to understand others who didn’t have their luck!
I wonder if certain people here (who only drive around Doha) were on the shoes of those who must walk with no other choice, would be so inconsiderate and blindly judgmental!
Put them on the streets of Doha (on D ring as the example pointed out) and see if they would walk half way along the 1km road to across it on one of its ends (one end being a roundabout which is never 100% safe for a pedestrian).
I wonder if those people were in the situation of those who can’t afford a car, they would sound so undisturbed and egotistical about the safety risk pedestrians face by necessity on a daily basis here in Doha!
Yes, a government has the obligation to ensure the safety of its citizens. Sure Qatar can learn a few things with other (more developed) countries. It sure can afford it.
Building a country with practically façades only is not how developed countries do!
A developed country provides all the hard and soft conditions to ensure pedestrian’s safety and full mobility (including those in wheel chairs, totally neglected by Qatar).
Some here come from more privileged countries that already have these conditions in place but it seams that either they take them for granted and do not understand that those conditions were planned and implemented by their local authorities in accordance with the local realities and needs.
Yes, a government has the obligation to provide the safety conditions to ensure that pedestrians (including handicapped people) walk and across streets safely…
As mentioned, here even not so rich countries do so, why not the richest country in the world?!
