pedestrian walkway

Paved walking route

A pedestrian walkway is a path or passage designated for foot traffic, separated from vehicle roads.

The term appears in urban planning, architecture, and signage: The pedestrian walkway connects the parking garage to the terminal.

Walkways may be elevated, enclosed, or at ground level.

The phrase is somewhat formal—in casual speech, people usually say sidewalk, path, or just walkway.
