A sidewall is like the edge of a road where you walk or ride your bike.
Imagine you're walking to school, and there's a path next to the street. That path, the one between the road and the grass or the buildings, is the sidewall. It’s like a little border that helps keep people safe while they’re walking or riding.
Why we need sidewalls
Sidewalls come in different shapes
Some sidewalks are flat, like a smooth path you can run on. Others might have bumps or be made of bricks, it depends on where you live. But no matter how they look, sidewalls help people move safely and comfortably from one place to another.
Examples
- A child walks on the sidewalk to get to school.
- The sidewall helps stop cars from going into the park.
- A sidewall is like a path for people, not cars.
