    Uploaded by

    Zharmae Bermeo
    A footway, also known as a sidewalk or pavement, is a path alongside a road intended for pedestrian use and separated from vehicle traffic. It has three zones: a front boundary zone next to the road, a through zone for walking, and a furnishing zone between the through zone and private property. Footways provide safe walking paths separated from vehicles and can encourage walking, which benefits health, the environment, and communities.
