1. An apparatus comprising:
a modular pedestrian tunnel comprising:
a first pedestrian tunnel module comprising:
a rectangular frame having a perimeter defined by a first side and a second side each having a first length, and a third side and a fourth side each having a second length,a continuous plate fixed to the frame for protecting a pedestrian passing under the first pedestrian tunnel module,a first profiled element extending continuously along the first side of the frame and having a length equal to the first length,a second profiled element extending continuously along the second side of the frame and having a length equal to the first length, the second profiled element having a shape configured to interlock directly with a first profiled element of an adjacent pedestrian tunnel module,a third profiled element extending continuously along the third side of the frame and having a length equal to the second length,a fourth profiled element extending continuously along the fourth side of the frame and having a length equal to the second length, the fourth profiled element having a shape configured to interlock directly with a third profiled element of an adjacent pedestrian tunnel module, anda plurality of supporting legs hinged to the frame, wherein each of the four profiled elements is configured to withstand one or more of a bending moment and a twisting moment generated by a weight of at least the continuous plate, wherein the first profiled element comprises a structure extending along the first side of the frame and having an L-shaped cross-section having a first segment extending outward from the frame and a second segment extending from the first segment in a first direction, and wherein the second profiled element comprises a structure having a third segment extending outward from the frame and a fourth segment extending from the third segment in a second direction opposite the first direction.
