A pedestrian is a person traveling on foot, whether walking or running.[citation needed] In modern times, the term usually refers to someone walking on a road or pavement (US: sidewalk), but this was not the case historically.[citation needed] Pedestrians may also be wheelchair users or other disabled people who use mobility aids.[1]
