Basically, our roads in Sampaloc,
What make them narrower are the following:
- Sidewalk vendors. As I have said in my related post: Can you blame them? Why rent a stall when you can have a selling space for free?
- Illegal Parking – people here love to park their cars on the streets. Ergo, the 2-way streets are reduced to one way, because people are walking on them and they let their working and trash cars lie on both sides of the street. Just imagine the traffic. Only tricycles and bikes could pass through.
- Sidewalks are usually made as house extensions or mini gardens. I bet you can't even see the sidewalks anymore!

Wow, it must be mureder to get a truck down one of those streets! Great take on this week's theme. Happy weekend
Wow that is narrow and I would not even try driving there
I have been to Manila several times and I'm amazed at the narrow 2-way streets that I have to travel everyday.
I certainly wouldn't get my car down that lane. Happy Photo Hunting.
It will take skills to drive through those narrow lanes :P
I would get to frustrated trying to get through the narrow passage. So, I would probably try walking or taking another route. Have a nice weekend. Happy Photo Hunting~

These markets are common throughout the far east, one of my favorite parts of the world. I love the people.

True, that's what makes the road crowded and narrow. Even in Baclaran church has the same situation or even Divisoria. Great shot! Perfect for the theme! Mine is up as well please take a look whenever you get the chance. Thank you!
NARROW FEED THE ROAD
Great shots of narrow. Have a happy weekend.
It looks like even walking is hard - but made easier by the lack of space for cars! ;)
Lovely shot....Oh I miss Philippines....Thanks for sharing...

Happy Weekend Everyone!!!
Yep, those are narrow streets! Really interesting, though, to see how things are done in different parts of the world. The takeover of the sidewalks is amazing! lol Thanks for sharing. ;o)
Hope you have a great week!
Great choices for the theme. There are indeed many narrow streets in Manila. Sidewalk vendors seem everywhere nowadays but like what you said, I couldn't blame them.
Mine is up as well.
