In some countries, which have good mass transportation facility, pedestrians are common and become lifestyle. For example in Sapporo, Japan, people are get used to walk or ride bicycle. There are some reasons why pedestrian become so popular in Japan. First, pedestrian is the king of road. All vehicles must be stop if there is pedestrian walk in front of them. In some countries, pedestrian have to wait until the road is not crowded enough before pass the road. But, in Japan, pedestrian can just walk and vehicle users give their respect to pedestrian. Secondly, Pedestrian pathway is comfortable. In some areas, especially in dense areas, government constructed pedestrian pathway with larger width even than main road. It makes pedestrian feel comfort to walk in pedestrian sideway. Thirdly, becoming pedestrian is more efficient and cheaper than using car. The car price is expensive, and gasoline price as well. Moreover, car tax is expensive and its not that easy to get driving license. They also have to pay hourly fee to park their cars.
