I don't doubt it, I just don't understand it.
You don't have to walk on the roads. Is there no grass or dirt nearby to walk on?
Why have grass or dirt when you can have roads..? Grass and dirt sell no cars.
But what is next to the road
Judging by the pictures I've seen of the US, and google maps street view, more road, or parking lots. Sometimes, but not often, short stretches of sidewalk, often not wide enough to walk on safely, regularly interrupted by lampposts and whatnot.
Do you have any examples? I'm picturing suburbia with houses next to houses and fences blocking everything except driveways that lead to roads that go nowhere except driveways for miles until hitting the highway.
But that just seems like a lazy video game set piece. I can't imagine it in reality
