pedestrian traffic
People on foot
Pedestrian traffic refers to the movement of people on foot through a space—sidewalks, crosswalks, hallways, or public areas.
Urban planners design for pedestrian traffic when laying out walkways and crossings.
Retailers value high pedestrian traffic for visibility: The corner location gets heavy pedestrian traffic.
The term parallels vehicular traffic but applies to walkers rather than drivers.
