A walkway along the margin of a street or other highway, designed and prepared for the use of pedestrians, to the exclusion of vehicles. 25 Am J1st High § 7.
As the word is used in the United States, it does not mean a walk or way constructed of any particular kind of material, or in any special manner, but ordinarily it means that part of the street of a municipality which has been set apart and is used for pedestrians, as distinguished from that portion set apart and used for animals and vehicles. Graham v Albert Lea, 48 Minn 201, 205.
