What is a pedestrian?

The

pedestrian bridge, also called a fabric, is simply a bridge, whether through the soil or water that is designed for pedestrian operations unlike the traffic. Often, substances are designed to give pedestrians a safe way to switch from one side of a busy journey to the other. There are also pedestrian bridges built on railway lines, rivers, parking lots, canyons and other areas where walking could be dangerous or even impossible. The ancient Romans built pedestrian bridges from stone as early as 142 BC to allow people to cross the Tiber River. The shape of the arch was incorporated into these pedestrian overpower to provide them with durability and strength. Many of these substances still exist today, including the Ponte Fabricio bridge in Rome, a two -bridge that was completed in 62 BC and still contains all its original materials.

With the arrival of the vehicle, socioettes began to switch its focus to build bridges strong enough to support more than just people on foot. First the bridges of the post cameVented for vehicles driven by horses and then those that could hold trains or cars. However, the pedestrian bridge remained important, especially for people who could not afford to give up on foot.

Today's pedestrian bridge can be made of wood, ropes, metal or even plastic. It can serve both utilitarian and decorative. Many of these bridges add a figure to their gardens or backyards. For example, a gardener can lay a pedestrian bridge over a small pond or a stream. These bridges are also popular as an overpass near shopping centers and metro stations.

Architects continue to update the design of pedestrian bridges, both for structural and artistic reasons. One interesting design is the design of a round bridge for pedestrians. Example of this style can be found in Australia, through Freeway Craigieburn Bypass and Aveiro, Portugal. Another remarkable design is a curved bridge and two examples of USAnd are the trail bridge in Longwood, Florida and Bob Kerry Bridge near Omaha, Nebraska.

Some pedestrian bridges have lights, Plexiglas® walls, chain ceilings and other safety features. These improvements protect both people who walk across and in the case of bridges along the roads, people drive vehicles down. One of the danger that such sidewalks are above the roads is that people can accidentally or deliberately drop objects. This can be a threat to motoring safety.
