>>58746519
Duh. It makes suicide much easier

Looks like Silent Hill.
>>
Cause they don't drive as much like fat Americans
>>
>>58746519
Because they are fond of using the train and bus than driving private cars
>>
>>58746839
it's way too cramped to use cars anyway
>>
All those wires and cables, looks ugly, we have it too here, sometimes, but never so much of them
>>
>>58746519
Lack of massive urban sprawl like here in the US, plus actual good public transportation.

Basically we drive the car gently at such narrow streets, so the walker don't feel fear without sidewalks.

So they can run late to school and fall upon their true love
>>
>>58746985
why does that house on the right have windows with grating?
>>
So Americans can't walk in them
>>
>>58746519

So they can live in detached houses while being within the city.

>>58747080

Why does any house have bars on its windows?
>>
>>58747245
idk
>>
>>58747080
Probably that's prevention of crime.

Many cities were built before the 18th century, no automobiles.

Do you love Japanese city?

They have no space left to put sidewalks, actually the Japanese houses are really narrow and small too.

That happens when you have such population living in that small country, to take it worse most of Japan is really irregular.

There are many train lines in Japan.
So 40% of cars for normal use are this type of small car.

do te average Japanese people in the cities have cars? I've pass through alot of Japanese apartment and theres barely a car there and yet so many people live there
>>
>>58749034
cute but it would never be able to travel out of town
>>
>>58749692
Yes, Japanese use train for long distance. Small cars are for driving in or near home town.

Australia: The land is huge, No many population
Japan: The land is no huge. Many population <-- train is better in this case.
>>
>>58749622
Many people in major cities don't have a car.
Parking cost is high price and always traffic jam, so train is better in major cities in Japan.
>>
>>58749692
It's enough for old generation.
>>
They don't need sidewalks because nobody use the streets they are too busy watching anime on home
>>
>>58749869
yeah that's fair enough, i'd like a smaller car but given the circumstances locally i just can't
>>
>>58747080
Maybe that pic was taken on one of the Okinawan islands.
The grating might be for tsunami protection.
>>
japan doesn't have much land.
sidewalk is a luxury for us.

Because they're not as car centric. That's not so much a road as it is as shared way. Cars are expected to watch out for pedestrians. That is actually god tier city planning
