18. PHOTOVOICE - Results I have clicked this photo from the bridge. The road is congested with people walking against and with the traffic. There is no traffic signal, nor police men. There are hawkers on the footpath and there is no space to walk. There is good greenery around it. There are people traveling on two-wheelers without helmets. People are crossing haphazardly. The road looks chaotic. Xerxes, age 12, Mumbai, India

19. PHOTOVOICE - Results The street vendor is blocking the passage of pedestrians and vehicles. He should sell his wares in the right place. Yhen, age 13, Manila, Philippines

20. Because the game machine is blocking the sidewalk, children walk through the roadway. Cars are parked on the street and there is no way to walk. Hyo-seung, age 11, Seoul, South Korea

21. As a pedestrian, you should be able to walk and be safe. First, the sidewalk was like rising up and someone could slip. Next, it was trashed with garbage and tires... With gas prices rising like they are, people are going to want to walk and they shouldn’t have to walk over this. Kari, age 13, Detroit, MI USA
