This article is about pedestrian paths next to roads. For pedestrian paths that are not next to roads, see Footpath. For other uses, see Sidewalk (disambiguation). For other uses of "pavement", see Pavement.
A sidewalk (North American English),[1] pavement (British English),[2] footpath in Australia, India, New Zealand and Ireland, or footway is a path along the side of a road. Usually constructed of concrete, pavers, brick, stone, or asphalt, it is designed for pedestrians.[3] A sidewalk is normally higher than the roadway, and separated from it by a kerb (spelled "curb" in North America). There may also be a planted strip between the sidewalk and the roadway and between the roadway and the adjacent land.
In some places, the same term may also be used for a paved path, trail or footpath that is not next to a road, such as a path through a park.
