Since greed reigns all over the island, if you live in Lija or Balzan, the only way of peacefully take the bus to your work or just try to have a walk is to squeeze in like a cat or walk on the same road where buses and cars pass without stopping at all (despite being a big STOP sign right next to this)

Very generous 🙂
Imagine being in a wheelchair. Every politician/administrator approving this should first go there and try to manoeuvre with one.
shit like this makes me so mad. I have a push chair where am i supposed to walk? Government wants more babies? fix the fucking infrastructure, enforce the damn law for everyone equally not this day to day shit show amateurism.
These kinds of things are all over the island. Pedestrians are second class citizens for some reason. Cars, the modern day deities.
Report to the local council and to BCA.

This is pretty much everywhere on the island, most pavements are barley usable , this is why everyone starts walking on the street. Clearly no one remembers disabled people or people with limited mobility exist..
One of the very few things I as an immigrant have a problem with on Malta is the absolute joke they make out of the sidewalks.
These should be standard and safe paths for pedestrians to walk on, but you will break your neck walking there with all the bumps, potholes, improvised cement ramps and flowerpots with multiple plastic waterbottles strapped to them, and most importantly: the steps that are bult halfway onto the sidewalks.
If you’re a mom pushing a baby stroller you’re often forced to just walk in the middle of the street, and same goes for elderly or handicapped people in wheelchairs. Literally the most vulnerable and worst groups of people to force to walk in the middle of the road.
Then ofcourse there’s always the incomprehensible havit of many Maltese people to just let their dog shit in the middle of the sidewalk and not clean it up, so if you’re blessed enough to be able to use the sidewalk you might still end up having a crappy time.
Besides that, and the absolute horror that is finding parking for a car, I absolutely love the country and I would 100% pick it over any nother country in Europe to live in.

That wall looks pre-existing so it’s not like it was big to start with.
Sad state of affairs though. Road looks wide enough to have a larger pavement.

Malta’s least dangerous pavement
I don’t think it’s meant for walking inside. The net is to keep debris from flying into the road.
Should have built a temporally sidewalk.

Pavement obv needs to be widened in this scenario. It’d be a lot uglier if someone hit the curb while the scaffolding was in the road than on the pavement. But then again more concrete bad, right?
