walkways

Paths for foot traffic

Walkways are paths designed for walking, typically paved or otherwise constructed to provide a clear route for pedestrians.

The term covers everything from garden paths to elevated passages connecting buildings: A covered walkway links the parking garage to the terminal.

Moving walkways are flat conveyor belts that carry people through airports or other large spaces.
