I am all for pedestrians have safe footbridges across busy road sections. But this is one of those occasions I would use the road to cross the footbridge. It does look like a monumental waste of resources. Speed bumps, in my view would solve the problem for this small market centre.
This is an over kill
Where you live, do you pay to use the toilets? It is important that you do. You see that money has many uses.
Cost sharing for better services
And finally, good and clean toilets are key to nation building. Who knew?
Clean toilets for national success

Overpasses for all!! At least it’s ugly.

It takes the trophy for ugly. Though I think if i went around taking photos, there are foot bridges that will hold a candle to it in ugliness

I should send in a few examples from my fair city. The one difference, though, is our megabridges cross a dangerous railroad line and freeway, and the second crosses a freeway, so there is a rational argument for them. (the first also provides access to a passenger railroad station, so there is some traffic). Both are very, very ugly structures, of course.
They can be done nicely. There is a very active regional trail in the County south of me (Iron Horse Trail, for SF Bay Area people) that has two pedestrian bridges that are lovely, lovely designs.

Please do. That would be nice. I could do this too if I encourage myself a little 😀

Sorry wasn’t finished. You asked a question and I did a search for ‘toilets’ in my folders and it appeared like magic.

This reminds me of The Earth by Emile Zola. There is an old man and his children who crap without shame even when in public

I’m more surprised by the fact that there are actually people using the overhead crossing. I also pity the wheelchair user tasked with climbing such a steep ramp.

I think they were up there for the views. The traffic is not so high & fast to warrant using the footbridge.

This reminds me of an old Chinese proverb I’ve just made up: “Dirty Public Toilets Build Stronger Bladders!” This is a FACT! I’ve often felt I’ve had to pee only to enter a public bathroom, wretch, and then say to myself, “Fuck this! I’ll hold it til I get home!” So, I say, it is in the public’s best interest, and the interest of bladder strength everywhere, to keep public toilets dirty. Thank you, and, please, have a powerful-bladder day. $Amen$

Public toilets can serve other purposes. Locations for paid sex. Quiet and hidden spots for injection drug use. Muggings.

Very true. Free sex too, for those too busy to find a cheap, stinky motel.

I was thinking, though. We think too small.
THIS is an amazing, epic, Ozymandish waste of money. An overengineered pedestrian bridge is trivial when compared to the billions spent on a plane that cannot fly in the rain.

I increasingly believe that there will be, cannot be, “reform” of the current “system(s)”. The rot, the corruption, the self justifications are too embedded. Plus, the ideology of eternal economic growth which late stage capitalism needs…that is the ideology of a malignant cancer cell. I am no “socialist” by any means, and I fear the alternative to the current Leviathan is a return to the horrors of theocracy, poverty, and localized oppression. But how long can things go on like this?

Now, that is a colossal waste of money. We have been told time and again we can critique capitalism because it has gotten masses out of poverty. Maybe this waste is not capitalism but socialism. Who knows?
