Every year on November 11th, the country celebrates "Pedestrian Day," a day dedicated to discussing problems such as the challenges caused by rising air pollution brought on by industrialization, energy shortages, and the rising demand for environmental protection while improving public health.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport oversees this important occasion. It was officially recognized as a statutory national holiday in 2010, following the implementation of laws like the "Sustainable Transport and Logistics Development Act." The inaugural Pedestrian Day event occurred in November 2010, marking the beginning of an annual tradition.

The choice of November 11th as Pedestrian Day stems from the visual resemblance of "11" to a person's two legs. Since the inception of this celebration, each year has seen a series of events aimed at underlining the significance of walking and raising awareness about the environment.

Pedestrian Day emphasizes the importance of walking and encourages environmentally friendly modes of transport. Various events are organized to promote walking and raise awareness of its benefits. Pedestrian movement forms the foundation of green transportation, contributing to a cleaner environment and improved health.

Additionally to keep pedestrians safe, it is essential to be careful when using alternative modes of transportation, such as electric scooters. Always remember to wear a helmet when using an electric scooter to comply with the law. Electric vehicles should only be used by a single person and should stay to the side of the road, staying away from pedestrian walkways and the middle of the road. When crossing roads, it is imperative to use crosswalks, dismount from the scooter, and walk it across. Motorized scooters move at relatively fast speeds, thus extra attention is essential to avoid collisions and guarantee the security of all other road users.
