walking street

Car-free urban path

A walking street is a road closed to motor vehicles, reserved for pedestrians.

Common in tourist districts and historic city centers, walking streets typically feature shops, restaurants, and entertainment: The walking street in Pattaya comes alive after dark.

Some are permanent, others close to traffic only during certain hours or days.
