This issue of The PLEA has only taken the first few steps in considering how the law applies to pedestrians. From the impacts that labour laws and trade laws have on the shoes we wear to building codes regulating the spaces we walk in and on, there are countless ways the law applies to pedestrians.
Below are just a few resources for further examining pedestrian issues. Check them out!
