Answer

The answer to your question is 'Remember to walk 'ON' the sidewalk'?  If you are walking DOWN the sidewalk, it indicates that you have a destination.  For example, if gave someone directions, I would say "You need to walk down the sidewalk for 2 blocks and then turn right".  Also, another example is if you were telling a story; "I was walking down the sidewalk one day when......."

Answer

walk on the sidewalk.  or stay on the sidewalk for safety.
