No, I am from Venezuela. It isn't that level of common, but sometimes you see a biker decide the bottleneck is too much to go between and change to the sidewalk. There is also a few places where it is supposed to be people walking only but some will just get in there for no reason.
The worst offenders of this are the cops and military, because they usually aren't on small displacement bikes but massive 1000cc Vstrom and KLRs.
I totally recommend that. Those themes fit their respective games mood for the ending really well.
Also the games are really fucking good. The continuous evolution between games is really impressive and they are the top when it comes to stealth.
