Walk Like An Upper West Sider: A Half-Rant on Pedestrian Etiquette
Briefly

Pedestrian etiquette in urban areas, such as the Upper West Side, is crucial for maintaining the flow of foot traffic and ensuring everyone's safety.
To enhance pedestrian experience, one must be aware of surrounding traffic and mindful of stopping abruptly—especially in high-traffic areas like exits.
Being part of a group requires extra consideration for public space; using a staggered formation allows for smoother pedestrian movement on crowded sidewalks.
City walking may feel like a sport, but it’s important to balance speed with awareness and consideration for those who may not walk as quickly.
