Except when a motorway has a sidewalk.
Do motorways ever have a sidewalk? Sometimes a footpath/cycle track
follows the motorway, and often there are footpath/cycle tracks where
motorway bridges cross estuarys, but they are separate ways.
What are you asking? A sidewalk is almost always a separate physical way
(if not, it's a shoulder, except on minor urban streets with flush
sidewalks and no curb).
In the Netherlands I have sometimes seen cycleways paralleling
motorways, some 20-30 metres away, and on long estuary bridges there is
often a cycleway but beyond that motorways never have a sidewalk.
The term motorway implies a lot of rules,
No Pedestrians.
Not in many U.S. states. But even where it does, there is the occasional
(barrier-separated) sidewalk. No different from a sidewalk next to any
other busy road. For example:
