Combinație românească cu fonduri europene. Primarii au tranformat pistele de biciclete în trotuare
In Romania, many local authorities have used European funds to build bike lanes in rural areas lacking basic infrastructure. Despite the absence of cyclists, these lanes are often repurposed as sidewalks. Local officials admit that the need for sidewalks is greater, but funding was only available for bike lanes. In some cases, the construction of these lanes has led to further issues, such as damaged access ramps for residents. While some locals appreciate the bike lanes as makeshift sidewalks, the legality of pedestrian use remains a concern. This situation highlights the misuse of funds intended for improving community infrastructure.
