Wikipedia
A sidewalk (American English) – also known as a footpath, footway or pavement in Australian English, New Zealand English, Irish English, South African English and British English – is a path along the side of a road. A sidewalk may accommodate moderate changes in grade (height) and is normally separated from the vehicular section by a curb. There may also be a median strip, or road verge (a strip of vegetation, grass or bushes or trees or a combination of these, referred to as either a verge or a nature strip in Australia, and as an island in parts of the United States) either between the sidewalk and the roadway or between the sidewalk and the boundary.
In some places, the same term may also be used for a paved path, trail or footpath that is not next to a road, for example, a path through a park.
A sidewalk is a paved pedestrian way found chiefly in cities, while a moving sidewalk is a slow conveyor belt that transports people horizontally or on an incline in a similar manner to an escalator.
In other contexts it may refer to any of the following:

Sidewalk is the third studio album by the Australian rock band Icehouse. It was originally released in June 1984, on the labels Regular, Chrysalis, and reached #8 on the National albums chart with singles "Taking the Town" (#22 in May), " Don't Believe Anymore" (#22 August) and "Dusty Pages" (#82 November). Founding member Iva Davies used the Fairlight CMI digital sampling synthesizer on this more sombre and reflective album, included are two tracks used for the Russell Mulcahy 1984 film Razorback, which he had recorded in 1983.
In 2002, Warner Music re-released the album, digitally remastered by Davies and Ryan Scott, with four bonus tracks.
The music video for "Taking The Town" was filmed by Russell Mulchany in Sydney, and used similar effects to Elton John's " Sad Songs (Say So Much)", filmed in Rushcutters Bay also by Russell Milchany when John was in Sydney for his first marriage.
