Pavements are for pedestrians. But nowadays, whenever there is a traffic jam, we see motorcycle riders moving on to the pavements to save time. This practice is not only uncivilised but also dangerous as people may be hurt. Even the traffic policemen remain nonchalant about this. There should be strict laws to prevent these unruly motorcycle riders from treading pavements.

The government should look into this matter seriously.
