Pavement
A pavement is a space raised on the side of the streets and reserved for the Piéton S.
Roadway system
According to the Highway code, it is reserved to the pedestrians and to the users moving on vehicles with casters (poussette for child, Roller skate). A motorized vehicle does not have the right to be parked and circulate on a pavement, except on the “charettière”, parts of pavement whose edge is lowered to make it possible the motor vehicles to penetrate in the adjacent property.
When a pedestrian must cross the reserved roadway to the cars to join the pavement on other side of the street, it must cross on a passage announced by a vertical Signalisation, and sometimes by a pedestrian fire.
The pavement generally forms part of the public domain (except in the case of some Lotissement S whose roadway system remained private, but if this one is opened with public circulation - absence of fence it is subject to the rules of circulation applicable on the public highways).
History
