Walking is an important transportation
;
mode with many benefits. It serves as a
;
means of transportation without
;
creating adverse effects such as
;
pollution, noise, or traffic congestion.
;
Walking does not require the continuous construction of travel lanes, requires no tolls or
;
parking spaces, and reduces the petroleum consumption normally associated with
;
motorized transportation. In addition, walking is one of the most ideal forms of exercise
;
as it helps people maintain an active lifestyle without placing undue stress on them
;
physically.
