People can choose to go on foot on moving pavements. A Swiss company has invented a system of high-speed moving pavements. People will go through the streets at up to 15 kilometres per hour just by standing on the pavements. This will reduce traveling time of pedestrians and traffic jams effectively. Therefore, more people will leave their vehicles home.
