Russia drives me nuts 'cause #1

Busy roads generally do not have cross walks across them.  Then have pedestrian underpasses underneath them.  This would seem smart for snow, except the stairs are not covered.  And also the underpasses don't go anywhere except under the road.  If you are one of the common people who uses the subway, buses and his feet for green transport and not his us$100k+ european automobile, much of your day walking anywhere will involve stairs, a lot of stairs.

One would think Russian city planners would try to minimize the stairs, but I am sure it was someone's job, a lot of people's jobs, to design and build these.  So we frequently find them where they are not neceessary since there's already an underpass there or a crosswalk would be fine.  As a disabled person with two titanium hips and a knee with hardly any cartildge left, I notice stairs.  The most annoying thing about Moscow is adjacent underground tunnels that don't connect.  For instance, to get to Arankskaya station from the other side of the street, one must go down about twenty stairs, walk about 50m, and then up about twenty stairs then walk 10m and down twenty stairs.  I have no idea what disabled people in Russia do.  It must be grim for them. but everything is grim anyway, so their lives probably mess well with everyone else's dreadful lives.

One drives a Range Rover at 100 khm through red stop lights and whizzes over the pathetic proles.

Either way is acceptable in Russia.
