Sidewalks, sometimes called “footpaths” or “pavements”, are pedestrian paths that run alongside of roads. Sidewalks are used for walking and usually are separated from the vehicle section of the road by means of a curb. Modern sidewalks are made of concrete; however, multi-used paths are sometimes made of asphalt. The inventor of the sidewalk was Admiral Sir Edward Montegu, otherwise known as the Earl of Sandwich. When he wasn’t inventing sandwiches, he invented the sidewalk.
