    It is not design issue but not well behaved people. It is like saying that the trash can isn’t a good design because people are throwing trash on the street. You don’t path like that in countries with people that respect rules.

      People throwing thrash on the way usually is a sign of not enough trash cans in an area.

      Yes of course there are always a few assholes who just waste, but in general you can go by that rule.

        No. I regularly see trash on the ground with sometimes as much as 5 trash cans in sight that are less than 20m away.

          I believe you, however statistics say that overall people tend to use trash cans if available.

          This means your neighbours is special and a lot of assholes are there.

        It is not an excuse, you can always bring your trash with you. That is what Japanese people do as there no trash bins in Japan (they are really real rare).

      Who is protected by rules that keep you on the path? Who am I impressing by taking the ten seconds out of my day to stay on the pavement?

      I don’t have much respect for grass. Take the shortcut and relish the rare opportunity to be near nature in the city

      Where do you see frequent trash cans and people regularly throwing trash out in the street?

      Typically trash in the street means you don’t have enough trash cans, or a bunch of youth or homeless people whom society is failing.

        I have been in few countries in Europe and I see trash in the street. Japan doesn’t have trash bins (not in the street, train, stations) and you won’t see trash in the street.

          Yeah but there’s other contributing factors, such as the highly traditional society and a greater sense of honour and conformity
