| Contagious epidemics, as the Covid-19 pandemic, often demands limiting physical interactions among people in order to reduce the contagious rate. Governmental measures to reduce physical contact range from the closing of public facilities and schools to restrictions on mobility, lockdowns, quarantines, and curfews. These extreme measures though necessary, should be used as last resources, due to the their economical and personal negative impacts. Of great help in these situations are the physical and psychological benefits of physical exercises, walking included[1, 2]. On the other hand, physical contact and proximity should be avoid to reduce the spread of pathogens such as Covid-19[3]. This paper studies how organizing the traffic of pedestrians affects the number of walking or running people passing by each other. One example is the traffic of pedestrians on sidewalks. Another is the use of walking or running tracks in parks. As it will be demonstrated, the number of people crossing each other can be drastically reduced if one-way traffic is enforced and runners are separated from walkers. | |
