What does ทางเท้า mean?

The paved walkway beside roads where pedestrians walk. Essential vocabulary for navigating Thai cities, especially Bangkok. Used when giving directions, complaining about blocked paths, or describing locations. Thai speakers often mention sidewalk conditions since they're frequently occupied by vendors, motorbikes, or construction, making walking challenging.
