Large cars create a lot of difficulties in our streets. Not only for pedestrians as can be expected, but also for other drivers in the city, this can be acknowledged by any citizen due to the fact that in these days we can imagine a world without cars. However, this also mean that cities are planned thinking more in vehicles than in persons, and regardless of this is not strange that posible changes that we can face in the future are not considered when planning. This can lead us to problems related to space between vehicles and in streets, aswell to problems between vehicles and pedestrians. Large cars represent an special example of this: they use a lot of space specially in old, narrow and small streets, they also obstruct other vehicles in scenarios like parking or taking a dangerous curve, and pedestrians also have some confrontations too, for example, when they try to safely cross the street while a large vehicle is in between o entering to the street after taking a curve, or when they block important signs directed to pedestrians. Personally I have been many times in the situation when a large vehicle will obstruct the sign that is supossed to tell me when is safe for me to cross the street.
