I saw one man walking down the E01 near kottawa towards kiriwaththuduwa around 9.15 am. He was walking while talking on mobile phone. people in these areas should be informed of the danger and the law soon.

I think this is the most publicized 'walk' since Neil Armstrong did it on the moon, some will do it for cheap publicity because media reporting these matters.

All those who want to get arrested for one reason or another it is very simple. Go down the E01 way.

This is a suicidal attempt. Law should form similar to manslaughter for those who don't abiding.

Media should educate the public since they have not heard or seen a expressway in their life before.
Calistus Jayatilleke Wednesday, 14 December 2011 02:01 PM
One small step for the first man who dared to walk on a highway and a giant leap for the Police who arrested him!

many human lives are lost on a daily basis in SL... none worries.... and the last I read the President said" SL is a multi ethnic country" why we have to state as a buddhist country and create hatred and animosity?
Fair N Square Wednesday, 14 December 2011 12:49 PM
Pls also have signs indicatin that walking is prohibited and also " FINE for Littering Rs. 5,000.00" and have cameras monitor violators and also have a number for the traveling public to call and report on offenders" Ive seen plastic bags already with empty bottles n paper......

Someone has to take immediately action about the animals on the highway, t So many innocent animals get killed day by day. A Buddhist country should address this matter faster.
