It’s not just a desire path but also a shortcut that saves you 7km. They are trying to block it but it’s coming back on the side.

    Don’t doxx yourself with a screenshot or anything but is it two very long paths running side and the only “official” cutover is an intersection?

    I’m so confused why any city planner would do this…but I guess I’ve seen a lot of poorly-planned stuff

      Welcome to Southeast Asia! In some countries here road planning is an afterthought. Pedestrian or cyclist access is optional.

      I’ve seen it a few times, both of the developers do better planning on their side (not great, just better) but when it comes to connecting to a neighboring area, not such a great job.

      This desire path is right in the middle, so without it, it’s a 7km journey left or right from where the picture was taken to the other side.
