1. Don't walk in large groups that take up the whole sidewalk.
2. No zig-zagging.
3. Keep to your right, especially if you're slow.
4. Don't suddenly stop or turn around (at least look behind you or pull over to the side).
5. No blocking the sidewalk to take photos of your stupid friends!
What would you add?
6. Take those @#$% ear buds out of your ears, stop staring at the screen on your smart phone, and MOVE FORWARD.
After being temporarily disabled this week due to a foot injury, I would add these bits of sidewalk etiquette:
1. If someone is clearly handicapped or elderly, don't push past them when there's plenty of room to walk around. Dirty looks are especially unnecessary. No one decides to get injured on purpose.
2. Don't "tailgate" either! I don't know about anyone else, but it makes me anxious when I know there's someone behind me that wants to move quickly but I'm unable to speed up or move to the side.
Or just banning tourists from SoHo. I'd love to be able to walk there again…
THIS! THIS! AND THIS!
I absolutely HATE Broadway. It's the worst thing in life, pure hell. I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy to have to walk anywhere on Broadway between Houston and Canal. Did I mention I work on Broadway and Prince?

6. No spitting on sidewalks, especially not large gobs of your mucus/congestion for the rest of us to slip in or walk through and track everywhere we go. Yuck, DISGUSTING!!!![/QUOTE]
You have to remember that in some culture this is a macho thing.

6. Dont complain about stupid **** and move on with your life.
I just got one and very simple request for pedestrians.
Use the godamn sidewalk people...Not the streets or bicycle lanes.
I'm so tired of swevering on the bike lane to avoid hitting dumb-as$ pedestrians who can't grasp the concept that streets (and bike lanes) are not meant for them to walk on.
Also if you wanna cross the street, please wait on the sidewalk for the light to change.
Again, the street is not meant for people to stand waiting to cross.
walk to the right. if you're walking
to the left and someone's coming your
way, you need to move to the right.
