I find that a minority, when hearing that, instinctively take a step left before realizing that they need to move to the right.

To defend the comment, I'm including paved trails designed for non-car traffic. So there is a 3+ m wide paved trail for large parts.

    This appears to be a cultural/language thing (I'm not from the Anglosphere), I just didn't have any concept of a "paved trail", it immediately seemed like an oxymoron to me.

    What would you call a paved surface that is dedicated to non-car traffic?

    Pavement? Path? Footpath? Biking path?

    In my language we use the literal translation of "road" also for paved surfaces not meant for cars. We use "walking-road" to emphasise the fact when it's in a place where it might be confused for a car-road. We also have "bike-roads" that are paved/marked like a road but dedicated for bikes only.

    I think I just immediately associated "trail" with "hiking trail" or "bike trail" which I associate with more rugged terrain and not paved paths.
