The entire sidewalk down to the edge of the city I am in on one side of the main road is "wavy" in such a way that if you followed the sidewalk, it would take you 4 times as long to walk 2 blocks than it would if you were across the main road where the sidewalk is just straight. It's so fucking stupid.
