Ironically enough, this is how the pavements are in the ski resort I live in. It's a "shared zone", pedestrians have the same rights as vehicles. It slows everyone down because nobody knows when the next braying snowboarder trust-fund baby is going to stagger out in front of you.

Oh and as for the snow, we have adorable little mini snowploughs for the pedestrian bit

Edit to add pic -

Of course it uploaded upside down

And the snow will pile up on that lane, because the street needs to be free and nothing else.
