What is typically NOT permitted on an expressway?

Pedestrians are typically not permitted on expressways because these roadways are designed for high-speed vehicular traffic, which creates a dangerous environment for foot traffic. Expressways generally have multiple lanes designed for vehicles to travel quickly and safely, with limited access points, which makes it unsafe for pedestrians. Walking on such roads poses significant risks not only to pedestrians but also to drivers, as vehicles are traveling at high speeds.

In contrast, fast-moving vehicles, motorcycles, and passenger vehicles are all intended users of expressways, equipped to maintain the higher travel speeds expected and required for safety on these road types. The design and regulations surrounding expressways are focused on automotive traffic, which is why pedestrian access is prohibited to minimize the potential for accidents and injuries.
