it’s funny to me that the US is so fucked in pedestrian mobility that if you look at a map, the roads are not guaranteed to have pavements that you can walk on.
I’m From European and it’s not uncommon here either sadly, especially in the country side (old roads used around agricultural fields and farms for example).
In my experience, Europeans certainly have streets without sidewalks and areas with poor transportation infrastructure. So I understand why some can relate.
However, it’s truly on another level in many North American cities. Like in the heart of many densely populated cities, it can be nearly impossible to go to the grocery store without a car. Entire suburbs housing hundreds of thousands without a single sidewalk.

But there is hardly any traffic on these roads so walking there is safe
Oh there are lots of cars and people drive like maniacs on them. And we also have quite a few roads in cities outskirts without sidewalks.
