"pedestrian" = 'traveler on the sidewalk'

[Joel S. Berson]

Or perhaps 'traveler not operating a motorized vehicle'?

Boston Globe, July 24, 2010, page 1, Photo caption:

"Pedestrians biked down the revitalized North Street [Pittsfield],
now host to festivals, open houses, and art shows."

[The cyclists are on the sidewalk, not the motorway.  This particular
illustration is not included in the on-line article.]
