Pedestrian bridges vs. Pedestrianised bridges
Per a note here User_talk:Trident13

Is there a definition for these?

If this category is to be useful to readers (or else why bother?) is there any need to distinguish bridges built for pedestrian traffic (often recent and narrow) and old bridges, like Monnow bridge and Over Bridge that were once major trade routes for horse or carriage traffic, but have now been pedestrianised? Both of these were active road bridges until within the last few decades. There are also rare bridges like Pontypridd where the steepness of the bridge required steps (and thus made wheeled traffic impractical) but were major horse routes.
