In Soho, London, 21-year-old Cameron Roh patrols the pavement, camera at the ready to capture footage of individuals breaking his "laws" of pavement etiquette. He calls himself a "pavement vigilante," and with his videos, he aims to shame those who disregard basic rules of pedestrian behavior.
Roh's system evaluates walkers based on speed, placement, phone use, and other factors. He assigns scores out of 10, with 10 being perfect. His criteria includes not dragging feet while walking, not using phones, and being aware of surroundings. Those who fail to meet his standards are publicly shamed on social media.
Roh's mission is to promote a culture of consideration among pedestrians. He believes that everyone has the right to walk without fear of collision or intimidation. He argues that cities are designed for vehicles rather than people, making walking hazardous and disorienting.
Born in Ohio and raised with a strong sense of justice, Roh grew up witnessing hallway rage and frustration with slow walkers. As he moved to New York, he noticed a similar problem on the streets. His videos have gained 10 million views, inspiring others to join him in shaming poor walking behavior.
Roh's approach is not about being confrontational but rather about raising awareness. He believes that by sharing his experiences and those of others, he can encourage people to be more considerate of each other on the pavement. Despite his strong opinions, Roh remains calm and acknowledges that some individuals may be unaware of their impact on others.
In a world where smartphones dominate our lives, Roh's mission serves as a reminder of the importance of human interaction and basic etiquette. By promoting a culture of respect among pedestrians, he hopes to create safer and more enjoyable walking experiences for everyone.
