Note
A regular plural: the -s goes on the end of the closed compound, as with any ordinary noun (one sidewalk, two sidewalks). The word belongs to American and Philippine English. In US usage it can stretch beyond the roadside to mean any paved footpath, so a paved path that runs nowhere near traffic can still be called a sidewalk.
