We call them pavements in the UK and I kinda think sidewalk is more descriptive. You walk on the side of the road.
They needed more information.
Down under, it's usually footpath which I think is even more descriptive
Footpath is also the more popular term in the UK IMO
Footpath makes it sound like it goes through the woods or a field or something.
It can do. But your feet do work outside of woods and fields too.
In the US basically anything paved is pavement.
Asphalt road: Pavement
Concrete sidewalk: Pavement
Giant parking lot: Pavement
Gravel road: Believe it or not - paveme.. well that one's debatable.
I'd say gravel roads can be argued to be "paved" if it's really fine gravel that has been properly packed down by repeated driving on it, to the point where it starts looking shiny and sort of like glazed clay
Gravelment
