sidepath
Adjacent walking route
A sidepath is a path that runs alongside something else, typically a road or main route.
It often refers specifically to a paved trail for pedestrians or cyclists parallel to a street: The city built a sidepath along the highway for bike commuters.
Unlike a sidewalk, a sidepath is usually separated from the road by a buffer of grass or trees.
