Overpasses in Ankara are quite problematic constructions regarding both their design and utilization. The citizens are totally unsatisfied with them because their only use is serving for teenagers as a gathering place and sometimes as advertising billboard. Moreover they are incommodious. They are not useful in any way. You can hardly see anybody using them because such overpasses require to much energy just for the sake of passing a street. They are not up to international standards. For example, because of the fact that some of their stairs are 10 cm high while the others are 20 cm, they create a serious danger for children and aged people. Another thing that called my attention is that under some of overpasses there are traffic lights. Then for what purpose serves the overpass? However when we consider the opposite, the situation becomes even more dangerous because it leads to confusion between vehicles and pedestrians.
