This are footpaths, not roadside sidewalks.

Why are you comparing it to something totally different? Gotta be apples to apples.

Huh? I literally just sent you two links about roadside walkways. Australia's one is under the header "Footpaths in road reservations", while technically it doesn't always need to contain a road, it does include the road and area around it. Here's a definition from a random Aus council I found with a quick search:

A road reserve is the public land outside your property boundary and generally includes the nature strip or verge, roadside drains or kerbing, footpath and roadway.

The UK one literally gives that advice beside a diagram of a footway beside a road while clearly marking the 2m recommendation on the diagram.

Personally I'm the same size wherever I'm walking, but I'd still prefer the extra space when I'm around cars rather than on a safe path, I'm not even sure what point you were trying to make?

Lmfao it’s a residential service road, the only traffic is the homeowners and delivery’s.

Walk to the end of the block either way and you have an actual footpath that’s 2.4m wide, and the other way leads to the feeder and through roads that are designed differently.

Different places have different terms and are defined differently. Of your road is designed for people to use to pass though to the next, it obviously needs to be designed differently.

You’re the one assuming every road is identical to this one, roads that aren’t service roads must have sidewalks on both sides and be designed differently. But go off mate.
