walking distance

Walking distance refers to the length of a route that a person can travel on foot, typically measured in minutes or distance units like meters or miles. It helps estimate how far a location is based on how long it takes to walk there, considering an average walking speed of about 3 miles per hour (or roughly 4.8 kilometers per hour). For practical purposes, a 10-minute walk is usually about half a mile (0.8 km), making it a useful way to gauge proximity to amenities, workplaces, or destinations without vehicle travel.
