My street is 1/3 of a mile from the main road to the river. I walk it often.
My street is a cul-de-sac, 100 yards in length. I walk a lot farther than that with my dog every day.
My street takes about 10 minutes to walk its full length. I’ve done that walk many times, often with my daughter and/or dog.
My street is 2/10 of a mile, so yes. The street I grew up on was even shorter, 430 feet.
I could walk the whole length of my street, it’s 3 miles long. When I went on a walking vacation in Wales, this past April, my longest day was 18 miles, half across Anglesey, with my full back pack on, camping gear and all, about 45 pounds.
My street is a bit over 3 miles long. Certainly walkable but a long walk (an hour give or take).
My street is discontinuous, it is the ‘old’ route that has been replaced with a state highway (not interstate style, just 2 lanes with yellow between them). As such fragments of my street appear off of that state highway and then eventually rejoin. As such I’m not exactly sure where they all are, but yes if I can find them, and there is no access issues, why wouldn’t I be able to walk them?
The part of the street that is in our neighborhood (bounded on the east by a freeway interchange and on the west by a park and lake) is about 6/10 of a mile. Before my hip started acting up, I used to walk it every other day, or just over a mile.
Not any more, but shortly after I moved here part of my exercise routine was to walk from my house to where it met a major street and back. I’m not sure how long that is but I seem to remember it took about 10-15 minutes.
The street I grew up on in Chicago was only half a city block long, with a cemetery on one end and a city playground on the other, so walking it was easy.
The question wasn’t about access issues. The question was whether your street was short enough for that to be practical, or so long as to be impractical. My street is 2400 miles long. A round trip would be the work of 6 to 9 months of daily hiking with no days off.
According to Google, my street is 0.3 miles long; so, yes.
My normal walk is down the beach to Bay Breeze Restaurant and back, for a distance of 2.5 miles.
Well I have hiked 2185.9 miles in one go with more in the tank at the end so even your street seems walkable. My road, after looking some more thanks to this thread, however has some phantom sections (technically called paper streets here) , some lost to nature, some in existence. Can it be walked? I’m not sure. How long is a virtual road? It certtainally can not be walked continuously, though the total miles (real + imaginary) are not all that much.
My street is 2.0 miles end-to-end, and I live 200 feet from one end, so”yes, it’s about 2 miles and I can walk that easily enough.” About 200 feet in that direction, though, is a steep-ish hill that I don’t want to climb, so practically speaking I go around.
My street starts at a T intersection and goes one block down to a traffic light on a busy-ish street. On the other side of this cross street, my street changes its name. But if I cross it, I’d go up a hill and have to meander around for a block or two, then, I’d be at the beach (less than a mile). I don’t walk this way now (I used to) because I just started my exercise routine this summer, and I walk other blocks for a smidge under two miles a day. There are slight ups and downs, but not like the big downhill at the end of my block and the major hills on the other side of the busy street.
Mine’s a loop that goes a quarter mile, so I’ve done it often.
That is one hell of a hike. Color me very impressed.
If you started thread about long-distance walking I think you’d have a solid shot at winning the prize for longest Doperwalk ever.
The street is about a mile, a half mile both ways.
I used to walk the all the way to the end one way with the dog. He had a friend at the end of the street.
The other way I can only go about half way before it turns into a place I don’t want to go (sort of rural area in the southern US).
Absolutely. It’s under a quarter mile. That’s not the shortest street I’ve lived on, though. For two years, I lived on an “avenue” (really part of a twisting street) which was probably less than half that long.
So my street and a parallelish street form something of a tuning fork shape with the handle pointing north. I live on [street name] East. The whole fork goes from South 7th Street to South 11th Street, so 4 blocks (which are wider east/west than north/south). It isn’t far south that the [street name] splits into East and West. so “my street” is about 3.5 short blocks long – so one can easily walk. [street name]. West is even shorter as it stops at an East/West road that is (north/south wise) between 10th and 11th (it is [something] Drive) which also makes a T at [street name] East. South 11th makes a jog to be roughly one block south of [something] Drive.
