    The use of pedestrian'' in the sense of ''ordinary'', ''dull'', ''everyday'', etc. has begun to become unfashionable in the 21st century, mainly due to the desire in many urban locations around the world to promote walking and cycling as healthy, less polluting, and less space consuming alternatives to driving. Young people in particular are unlikely to use ''pedestrian'' in the ''ordinary'' or ''dull sense.
