Pavementologist

You may have wondered why Jane is not keen to go jogging - well there is the cultural problem of running the streets in shorts and a crop-top, there are no parks or open spaces and the pavements (side-walks) are not conducive to running - even walking on them is not an easy option. I have just completed an in-depth study of the pedestrian situation for my qualification as a pavementologist and my conclusion is that Jordanians do not like sloping pavements and have many different tastes in paving surfaces. Each property owner is responsible for the pavement outside their property which means that the surfaces vary, unless neighbours have clubbed together for a new pavement. Property owners, especially shop-keepers, like to have a level pavement outside their homes/shops, which means that every few yards there are step/s. And finally when a premise is derelict or there is an empty plot the pavement is neglected. I have completed many folders of photographs throughout my studies which I will gladly share with you, here is a taster. Please feel free to copy them if you would like to add them to your own collection of pavement photographs or you can use one as a screen-saver. P
