HALF OF ATHENS SIDEWALKS CONSIDERED UNSAFE

Watch where your step next time you stroll through Athens.  At least half of the sidewalks in Attica are obstructed or damaged in some way and contribute to pedestrian injuries, especially among the elderly, according to the results of a study released yesterday.Athens University Medical School found that 64 percent of sidewalks have cars parked on them, 52 percent are missing paving slabs and 47 percent have uneven paving.

More than 430 people were admitted to Athens's Erythros Stavros Hospital in 2004 after tripping on broken sidewalks
