This Baluch Colony pedestrian crossing on Shahrai Faisal is very dangerous for all pedestrians. A few years back two pedestrian bridges were constructed to cater to this crossing but were instead positioned a few hundred feet on either side of this bridge, almost not catering to this specific pedestrian traffic. Its been observed that most of the people choose to brave the mad rush across weaving their way between the fast paced oncoming traffic.

Observe the two gentlemen trying to cross the road, the first one (in white) attempted to cross initially but hung back trying to time is next sprint as soon as my vehicle crossed him, while the other guy (in shalwar kameez) seems to be taking a stroll oblivious to the oncoming traffic as if to say 'you move out of my way', I sure did.
