Signs that encourage the use of stairs, as well as community campaigns, have been shown to be effective in increasing exercise in a population.
The city of Bogotá, Colombia, for example, blocks off 113 kilometers (70 miles) of roads on Sundays and holidays to make it easier for its citizens to get exercise. These pedestrian zones are part of an effort to combat chronic diseases, including obesity
