Yeah, the corollary would be roads where the pedestrian has to walk on the road and there is no separation. That does exist in extremely rural areas and very old town centers - both of which are mostly ok because they demand the car go extremely slow. Wherever there is a sidewalk there should also be a dedicated cycleway.
- magicalhippo 4y agoWhen I was a kid I stayed at the family cabin with my grandparents, and we would routinely walk along the main road which had no sidewalk and barely any shoulder. It wasn't a problem at all, there weren't many cars and very few larger vehicles like trucks, trailers or busses. These days the road is super-busy, with large vehicles coming by all the time at full speed. I barely feel safe standing in the driveway. Back in the day there was no need for a sidewalk. These days I don't dare to walk to the "nearby" store without, hence I drive.
