 Acrophobia. That is a fear of heights. This has been pointed out as one of the many reasons most people would rather cross the dangerous expressways rather than use the pedestrian bridges. Plus, Sibyne's Jacinta Obuco went around town and filed in this report. As lifesavers, pedestrian bridges are considered critical for structures in modern road construction, especially in densely populated cities like Lagos. But not even the introduction of kick-against in-discipline CHI, but the state government has succeeded in enforcing the use of the pedestrian bridges. Plus, TV Africa was at Ojota to speak to Nigerians who gave different reasons ranging from health issues to acrophobia. That is a fear of heights and laziness among other reasons why most people would rather take the risk of crossing the roads than using pedestrian bridges. The reason why people don't want to use the pedestrian bridge, some people they are not fit, maybe some people are treated under high pressure because immediately they climb the bridge. Even they cannot even reach up. They start to continue their bridge. I don't really blame them but when you see them trying to climb the bridge, they find it very difficult. So people think maybe climbing that thing will waste their time. So that is why they prefer crossing on the road. Instead of climbing on the bridge. Old people mainly, they don't cross over. That's how they consulted their road over there. So that if we help all the older, older or elders to cross, that is one of the important things the government will think over because some of us may cross and collapse. A health expert to you, member Wondo, confirmed that acrophobia is a key factor that is often neglected but must be addressed. And then that most pedestrian bridges are constructively unfriendly, especially for those with health issues. There could be health issues associated with climbing and there could be health issues associated with phobia itself. If we made the bridge as small as anything and the person with phobia would still run away. When you look at this on the pedestrian bridge across Nigeria, you wonder whether you are going to, whether you are climbing or you are climbing Kilmajaro. It's so unfriendly, so challenging. All the edges are cut. If you are not careful, the rails are actually broken. If you are not careful, even with you that is not having phobia, you may fall and enjoy yourself. So first of all, the design must be friendly. They advise the government to do more in enlightening the people who need to use the foot bridges, apart from enforcing the law.
