Hello,
This is not the first time that I have mentioned about drivers using the sidewalks as roads. This is common in Russia. These pictures are from my trip in Ukraine but believe me they drive the same in Russia.
The first picture is really a sidewalk. This is a common sight all over Kiev or Moscow. The cars are parked everywhere that you can walk. The next pictures will show you why they leave enough room to drive.



So as the people stand waiting to cross the road the two cars line up with the people and wait for the crosswalk to change.

I just thought that I would pass these pictures on. I am so glad I got my camera phone…
