30 times when people went “against the system” and trampled paths (31 photos)

There are cases when pedestrians on city streets trample paths that sometimes contradict the rules, but at the same time save time and are more convenient. To describe such well-trodden paths, there is a very interesting concept “Desire path” (or desired path). Some of them appear in a few days and remain for years. Let's take a look at some striking examples of such paths!





1. "The path trampled by a squirrel, which comes to us every morning for nuts"



2. The trodden path was “legalized”. Netherlands

4. Is the staircase closed? We will find an alternative way

23. Attempts to stop pedestrians using the footpath. Vain



24. “15 years ago, my friends and I got drunk and painted a zebra crossing on the road near our college. Surprisingly, people started walking along it. Later, the authorities painted a real zebra crossing there.”



25. Bypass



26. And again the path, proven over the years



27. And here is a whole well-trodden street
