Is it ok to physically redirect pedestrians who are in your way?

 

[nooleen]

are you talking about running people over?

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Nah... I should have worded that better. When walking down the street and someone is in the way is it ok to gently direct them to one side while you slip by?

No.
You can place a hand in the space next to them to use as a guide as you go past, but they own the space that their body is in.

I would be in agreement with you generally, the question came up because of these ongoing Luas works, there's fences all over the city so I can't do as I usually would and skip by the offenders.
I did redirect people twice but I don't think I'll be doing it again.

You are an interesting man.
Vocally against queue-jumping. Yet staunchly pro-shoving-people-out-of-the-way when you're in a hurry.

Redirecting people. Shoving is so harsh.
But yeah, I'm a contradiction, I'd be insulted if someone were to redirect me.
