Is that amount of time common to walk in places in the world where cars don’t dictate the layout of the community?

Im going to be making this walk tomorrow, no worries, I’m just curious if its normal in other places. Maps says its 1hour15minues for 2.3miles or 3.7Km.

    By the way, count the actual time it took you to walk that. From personal experience, Google Maps always says a considerably higher number

      Thats fair. Honestly its less about the time, and more about how hostile the first half the journey is. I used to live in a place that was urban, I felt lazy not wanting to make this trip, just another “stupid lazy American” ya know. Confirmed here it’s not normal to walk an hour to a destination as an everyday task, even though I have done walks prior daily, I’m not so young anymore.
