 Would you like a fast lane where you live? Think of two good
(advantages) and two bad points (disadvantages) about having a
fast lane in your town or city.

In my opinion, a fast lane in Lima would be a great idea although it can bring Good
some problems in its implementation. To begin with, it can help pedestrians
points
to get faster to a place that they want, especially if they’re in a hurry and
don’t have much time. Also, it can be more comfortable for people who are
slow walkers or are just like chatting while they’re walking

Nevertheless, one disadvantage that this can cause is that other citizens can Bad
misuse this lane. Unfortunately, Lima doesn’t have bicycle lanes in many
points
districts, so this fast lane can be confusing for bikers o runners. Another
problem I find is that some streets or roads may not have the infrastructure
for a fast lane as they are too narrow.
