pedestrian pathway

Foot traffic lane

A pedestrian pathway is a route designated for people traveling on foot, typically separated from vehicle traffic.

The term appears in urban planning, parks, and legal contexts where distinguishing foot traffic from other transportation matters: The new pedestrian pathway connects the parking garage to the main building.

Often shortened to just pathway or path in casual use.
