Pardon my American ignorance, but, people seem to be strictly sticking to the sidewalks. Why does this city seem to have a dedicated road for horses to walk down two-by-two in one direction? (Or similarly slow non-pedestrians)
I can't tell. Might just be a narrow one-way road. UK road design is retarded. If you're curious:
53.380197, -1.470372
18-16 Pinstone St, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 2HB, UK
Not-fun fact: after this video, that police force paid to give the horses special training to become acclimatized to that kind of road defacement.
To be fair, the second thought I had watching this was that rioters could paint them as a barrier to impede mounted police.
If I were in a car or on a bike I'd be pretty pissed if I turned down a one way road and had to wait behind two horses walking at 3mph with a horse sized sidewalk next to it.
Oh, it could be desensitization training too. That'd make sense as well.
Still funny how horses have enough "horse sense" to dislike the rainbow 😄
Even in the USA the horses are expected to stay on roads, not sidewalks. The area may be closed to cars?
May vary by state, in Texas, I see them on side walks, parking lots or crosswalks almost every time, and 100% of the mounted police.
