pedestrians
People on foot
Pedestrians are people traveling on foot, especially in areas shared with vehicles.
Traffic laws, crosswalks, and signals exist to protect pedestrians from cars.
The word often appears in contexts of urban planning and road safety: The city added more pedestrian crossings.
Figuratively, pedestrian as an adjective means dull or uninspired: The film's pedestrian plot disappointed critics.
