English: Living Hell for Pedestrians in Taiwan has many interpretations:

The sidewalks are blocked by obstacles such as parked cars, parked scooters, lamp posts, transformer boxes, and occupied store fronts with signboards, etc. Pedestrians are then often forced to walk onto car lanes.
The cyclists and motor vehicle drivers widely do not give way to pedestrians while approaching the crosswalks, so the pedestrians often have to fight for their right of way with them as they cross the road or walk on pavements.
The pedestrian pavements are a patchwork of patios (known in Taiwan as Qilou) built from different surfaces and heights, adversely impacting their walkability. Parents with babies or small kids have to carry the strollers by hand as they make their way through, while wheelchair users are forced to zigzag in and out of car lanes.
