I just walked along a long stretch of beautiful new sidewalk from a bus stop and encountered this. Shel Silverstein's book is always true-- Where the Sidewalk Ends. he just didn't complete it with the subtitle "With no Advance Warning Far Enough Ahead that You Could Have Crossed at the Roundabout by the Bus Stop to the Side with the Complete Sidewalk and Curb Ramps."

Photo of a new stretch of sidewalk that comes to an abrupt end with a sign blocking the end. To the right of the sidewalk is a grassy strip with a worn path showing that people who can walk do proceed past the blockage into the gravel ahead that leads to housing.

For the bonus round on that spot where the sidewalk abruptly ends, to cross the street you're cutting across a sweeping wide open turn with no March crosswalk and likely no way for a left turning driver to know that you might be there given line of sight.
