1. Footpath

A footpath (or sidewalk) is a designated path for pedestrians, usually alongside a road. Traffic rules for footpaths ensure the safety of pedestrians and maintain order in urban areas.

  • No driving or parking on footpaths – Vehicles are not allowed to obstruct pedestrian paths.
  • No riding bicycles or motorcycles (unless marked as a shared path).
  • Give way to pedestrians at crossings – Always stop or slow down near footpath exits.
  • Use the footpath only for walking – Do not walk on the road unless necessary.
  • Keep to the left/right (depending on local rules) to allow smooth pedestrian flow.
  • Do not block the path – Avoid standing in groups that obstruct others.
