This is why some places like Michigan State University and Ohio State University use "desire path planning". That's where they observe where people walk and then install (or move) the sidewalks to match those footpaths.
33 0 ReplyNot necessarily good though since it further seals the ground. There's nothing wrong with leaving desire paths untouched.
11 0 ReplyThe problem is they would either have to police people from using them, or let grassy areas become bisected by muddy ditches

I hate when people do that. Just stay on the sidewalk, you're going to wear a path down in the grass.
10 0 ReplyShould've been a path there to begin with, clearly. Bad design
12 0 ReplyNo. No weird hypotenuses. Vertical and horizontal paths only.

Those are desire paths. I love them.
6 0 ReplyI hate them. It's not a real walkway, it's just people making their own and ruining the grass.

Shouldn't that be Cauchy and Schwarz walking together? Since they were actually the ones to generally prove that the absolute value of the sum of two vectors are smaller or equal to the sum of absolute values of each of those vectors separately.

Damn, I feel old now.
