Public Parks, Roads with good foot paths, Conventional centers, Public Libraries, all government offices, banks, hospitals, refreshment centers, railway stations, bus stations, police stations, metro rail stations, corporation offices, courts, play areas or stadiums. A separate lane should be maintained for these people movements along with an attendant to make them convenient.
