The pedestrians, in despair at the sight of Dubrovnik, point their fingers at the visitors of the nearby café: "What if someone gets hurt?"

In Zagreb's Dubrava neighborhood, pedestrians and cyclists face significant challenges due to widespread illegal parking in Križnog Puta Street. Cars are parked on sidewalks, bike lanes, and even in the middle of the road, creating dangerous conditions for non-motorists.
