Pedestrian bridges are supposed to be footbridges designed and constructed in high risk areas to help pedestrians avoid over speeding vehicles. But some Kubwa residents see it in a different light. They probably see it as an elevated platform designed and constructed for people who are too lazy to sprint past the high way.
This is why we see all kinds of people patiently waiting to showcase their running and dodging skills. These people can be seen dodging speeding cars and trucks along Kubwa express way like Keanu Reeves dodged the cars in matrix reloaded. Most times they get lucky. Sometimes they are unlucky. But whatever it is they are meant to do at home is probably worth it. This is why they can't avoid to miss the extra 3 minutes it takes to walk through the bridge.
WHAT A MAN CAN DO, A WOMAN CAN DO BETTER
Some of the ladies are not left out as they can be seen sprinting past moving vehicles. The lady in the above picture spent about 2 minutes waiting for the right moment to cross the busy road on a busy Monday evening. The high number of avoidable deaths on this spot is not enough to deter people from using the high way. This is scary!
But why do people go through a lot of stress and uncertainty just to avoid a bridge designed to make their lives easier? What about the risks involved? It takes about 3 minutes to use the pedestal bridge.
A lot of people have been knocked down because they don't have 3 minutes to spare. Don't be one of them! Use the bridge!!
whoa!
