Typical Soviet pedestrian treatment on 'magistrale' class roads.
Interestingly, Russian cities keep building these.
@brenttoderian.bsky.socialI took this in while working in Riga Latvia years ago. A busy arterial road cutting off the downtown from the waterfront, and this is the way to get to the water for pedestrians. On the one hand, at least they have a “connection”…on the other hand it turns pedestrians into mole people. #WarOnWalking
