A sidewalk is a paved path along the side of a road or street that is designed for pedestrians to walk on. It is typically raised slightly above the level of the road to keep people safe from moving vehicles. Sidewalks are common in cities, towns, and residential areas, providing a space for people to walk, jog, or ride bikes. They are usually made of concrete, asphalt, or other durable materials, and may be lined with trees, benches, or other street features to improve the walking experience.
