The duck said: "Pop, pipe, pipe, pipe, pipe, pipe!"
(Translation: Sir, please pay attention to your bicycle tires and big feet, and don’t come to our duck walk!)
The dedicated roads with markings and words are all to protect the rights and interests of each means of transportation, hoping to make the road use situation safer and more comfortable. Such thoughtful designs commonly appear in most countries, including lanes for cars, slow trains, bicycles, and pedestrians. These lanes are not too unfamiliar to you and me, but today’s protagonist, this A "duck lane" appearing next to a British canal is really super rare!
Most people should know that Britain is the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, but they may not know that Britain has a world-famous canal that was created because of industry. It is not only a long-standing and continuous canal, but also 2,000 miles long. (3,200 kilometers), which is much longer than another internationally renowned Venice canal. Coupled with the urban landscape on both sides, it is an important local tourism and cultural asset. However, this canal has been in the media recently not because of the tourist activities, but because of the aforementioned "duck lane".
Recently, the local cultural organization Canal & River Trust collaborated with the government to paint such a duck walk next to part of the canal. It is hoped that both cyclists and pedestrians can pay attention to the cute ducks under their feet, so that they can not only walk around You can swim freely in the river and walk around the streets with peace of mind on land. The purpose is of course to protect animals and share space with the ducks. If you have the opportunity to visit here, be sure not to occupy the duck walk, otherwise you will get slapped!
The interesting tag "#sharethespace" has also been added to the social platforms Instagram and Twitter, and netizens have gone online to share this rare duck walk. Its just that a dedicated signal is a dedicated signal. The ducks may not be able to understand the patterns and words drawn by humans, so they don't seem to intend to obey them~ (laughs). However, the expected result of this special lane is of course not to see all the ducks walking in it, but to hope that people coming and going can slow down, pay attention to the beautiful people and things (and ducks) around them, and enjoy the scenery and leisurely time in this canal. In pace.
