multi-use path

Mixed-traffic recreational trail

A multi-use path is a paved trail designed for various non-motorized users—pedestrians, cyclists, joggers, skaters, and sometimes equestrians.

These paths are typically wider than sidewalks to accommodate two-way traffic and different speeds: The multi-use path along the river gets crowded on weekends.

Also called shared-use path or mixed-use trail.
