[quote=APAULT,264029]It is not standard British or Australian English. We are more likely to say 'pedestrian street/plaza'. In Guilin, I heard the no vehicle street called the 'walking street', so I guess the 'walking' part you referred to is a Chinese variation that has caught on. The 'mile' is clearly British or American, being the largest measurement of distance (about 1.5km). Somehow, I find it hard to imagine it is an American phrase: it would surely be something more complex like 'perambulatory precinct' (!!) .... but I am ready to be corrected![/quote]
