Cool Facts
Walking on Foot. A pedestrian is simply a person who gets from place to place by walking. This is one of the oldest and simplest ways humans have traveled.
All Kinds of Movement. Pedestrians include not just people who walk, but also anyone using a wheelchair or other mobility aids to move around on their own power.
Special Walking Spaces. Most streets and roads have sidewalks (or pavements in Britain) that are specially made for pedestrians to stay safe and separate from cars and bikes.
Paths Everywhere. Pedestrians use all kinds of paths, not just city sidewalks. Rural footpaths, forest trails, and urban shortcuts are all places where pedestrians travel on foot.
Getting Around Daily. Whether walking to school, the store, or a friend's house, pedestrians are out moving through streets and neighborhoods every single day in every city.
