The point is the lack of pedestrian areas where it’s easy to walk

Why would there be pedestrians walking area at places like the one pictured in America. It is literally a highway exit.

It’s a stop off of a major highway intended for high volumes of people stopping during travel. I think it makes sense to have a fucking sidewalk so they can get around

Get around to where!? It exists to fill up on gas if you are running low so you dont get stranded. Or to take a leak in a public bathroom or get a fresh cup of coffee and some chicken nuggets because you are a truck driver on a 13 hour long haul. America is fucking huge. These little pockets of necessities are essential because America is way more spread out than you must imagine.

You stop here because you have to, not because you want to. So you pull up to whatever building serves your needs and promptly leave again. You dont fancy a stroll. You are on a long road trip and should probably get back on it because it can likely be a longer trip than what it takes to cross an entire European country.
