	Sidewalk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A sidewalk (chiefly North American English), pavement (British English), or footpath (Australian English) is a path for pedestrians that is situated alongside a road or formed like sidewalks that are alongside roads (such as a cement footpath through a park).
		Sidewalks are more common in modern urban areas, where they may abut the road, than in suburban areas, where they are sometimes separated from the road by a tree lawn (depending on available spaces and prior urban planning).
		There is usually a gutter between the sidewalk and the road, and the sidewalk surface is slightly tilted to let the water flow into the gutter.
