I was walking on Binshui Rd. （宾水道） the other day and came across this manhole just chilling on the side of the road. I mentally pictured someone not seeing it and falling five feet into the gas pipe which lay below. My shock and disbelief disappeared on Tuesday when I was riding my bike to work and noticed yet another open manhole, but at least there was a warning for passers-by, a brick about one foot in front of it. One, if you have an open manhole, why wouldn't you post a gate around it or something and second, if it's open, why is it not being used?

Be careful walking in the dark

There is no barricade by the manhole for the same reason that they don't use goggles and earplugs when jackhammering. It's a great way to fix the population problem - just open a manhole and whoah!!!!!!!
