Wikipedia

  1. Sidewalk

    A sidewalk (North American English), pavement (British English), footpath in Australia, India, New Zealand and Ireland, or footway, is a path along the side of a street, highway, terminals. Usually constructed of concrete, pavers, brick, stone, or asphalt, it is designed for pedestrians. A sidewalk is normally higher than the roadway, and separated from it by a kerb (spelled "curb" in North America). There may also be a planted strip between the sidewalk and the roadway and between the roadway and the adjacent land. 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.

Examples of sidewalk in a Sentence

  1. Jimmy Kimmel:

    You know, it’s a funny thing. We all know, like even the people who like the president know he makes things up, but still, it’s weird to hear him tell a lie that’s specifically involves you, for the record, not only was I not on the sidewalk waiting for him, opening the door to his car, I did n’t even go to his dressing room to sell hello before the show. I never do. In 15 years, I probably, I do n’t know, I’ve done it like seven times.

  2. John Wilson:

    I promptly got down on that sidewalk trying to avoid being hit myself, at that time it was pretty horrific, there were guys getting hit, falling, and I realized that I needed to get away from where I was. I looked to the guy to my left, a good friend of mine, and said, 'We need to get off the sidewalk or we are going to die here.'.

  3. Antonio Nassar:

    The car rolled right in front of me. By the time I looked over to the right, all you could see was (her) driving away, and people were bouncing off the front of the car, she rode the sidewalk, she came to a stop at the (Paris Las Vegas Hotel) intersection, people are punching into the window. ... She accelerated again and just kept mowing people down.

  4. Donald Trump:

    Jimmy Kimmel would meet me, before the election. I ’m telling you. True story. I do n’t even think Jimmy Kimmel ’ll deny it … I ’d go to Jimmy Kimmel studio … Jimmy Kimmel would stand outside on the sidewalk waiting for me, jimmy Kimmel’s standing out on Hollywood Boulevard … I was n’t president. I was, like, Donald Trump. A guy with potential.

  5. Jacob Frey:

    The violence needs to stop, it's unacceptable, people deserve to feel safe in their neighborhood, they deserve to be able to send their kids out to the sidewalk to play and to recreate without bullets flying by. That's unacceptable. We should be holding those perpetrators accountable.
