actually according to German law you _must_ walk on the road even if there is a 
pavement/sidewalk when carrying or pushing big loads which would interfere with 
other pedestrians on the pavement.

Don’t just think about big cities, think about the rural areas outside of 
settlements. There are hardly ever sidewalks and if authorities forbid roaf 
access to pedestrians you would have problems walking from one place to another.
