shared path

Multi-use pedestrian route

A shared path is a route designated for use by multiple types of travelers—typically pedestrians and cyclists, sometimes including skaters or scooter riders.

Common in parks and along waterfronts, shared paths require users to negotiate space and yield to one another: The shared path along the river gets crowded on weekends.

Signs often indicate expected etiquette.
