A New Walking and Cycling Path in Amman… Already Being Misused

Amman just got a shiny new walking and cycling path on 60 Road in Zahran District, but it’s already making waves for all the wrong reasons. Instead of joggers and cyclists, it’s cars that are stealing the spotlight—and the space!

Locals spotted vehicles cruising down the path that was meant to be a safe haven for walkers and bikers. The whole idea behind this project was to encourage a healthier lifestyle and give everyone a break from the city’s busy roads. But with engines revving and drivers calling out to friends, it’s clear the message hasn’t quite hit home yet.

People in the area are now calling for action to keep the path car-free and restore its original purpose. The community’s reaction has been a mix of surprise, frustration, and a bit of humor, as voices in the viral video can be heard saying things like “Wow,” “My love,” and “Come on!”

Will Amman’s new path get back on track as a go-to spot for walking and cycling? Only time will tell, but for now, it’s definitely the talk of the town—and not for the reasons planners hoped!
