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.

Maybe? Does seem a bit much. I already walk about 40 mins to get to work and that's at the higher end of what most people would walk.

But I would maybe do it if there were other things near that library that I need to go to. Have multiple destinations in mind for a longer walk like that.

EDIT: The library by me is about a 5 minute walk for what it's worth. Same for groceries & other stuff.

Very jealous. My favorite grocer is 2.5 miles away and I have to get on a highway to get there. That's the most direct route. Drives me mad.

I used to do 40 minutes walking home from work, it wasn't so bad once I was used to it. One time a buddy dropped me off/picked me up from work on a quad. We took the (defunct) railroad tracks. It was very fun.
