We call them pavements in the UK and I kinda think sidewalk is more descriptive. You walk on the side of the road.

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

Down under, it's usually footpath which I think is even more descriptive

Footpath makes it sound like it goes through the woods or a field or something.

[-] HydraulicMonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It can do. But your feet do work outside of woods and fields too.

Footpath is also the more popular term in the UK IMO
