Correction to my tip: Asphalt with mixed traffic, for residents, but I couldn't see where the residents wanted to go. It's a shame, some sections of the asphalt are no longer in such good condition.

An old railway line redeveloped into a greenway. Some unlit tunnels deserve to be equipped with a lamp because you really can't see anything there!
