Balconies overhanging the sidewalk work quite well. Trees are also useful but not as good.

Very nice point Alan. It's even better when there are interesting people to look at on the balconies...

That's a good way to walk into a bus stop sign. Been there done that.

I haven't escaped from reality. I have a daypass.

Trees are especially not as good to be under during electrical storms. Any type of overhang or recessed entry will work -- if the public is allowed to use it.
