Sidewalk

Raised sidewalk with stone curbs beside a 2000-year-old paved road in Pompeii, Italy

A sidewalk (North American English)[1][2][3] or pavement (British English) is a path along the side of a road. Usually constructed of concrete, pavers, brick, stone, or asphalt, it is designed for pedestrians. A sidewalk is normally higher than the roadway, and separated from it by a curb. There may also be a planted strip between the sidewalk and the roadway and between the roadway and the adjacent land.
