Business alley
An alley or alleyway is a narrow, pedestrian lane found in urban areas which usually runs between or behind buildings. In older cities and towns in Europe, alleys are often what is left of a medieval street network, or a right of way or ancient footpath in an urban setting.
Chicago, Illinois has about 1,900 miles (3,100 km) of alleyways making it the largest network of alleyways in the world. Alleys which are narrow pavements between/behind buildings can be known as snickets, ginnels, jennels or alleyways.
In Australia and Canada the terms lane, laneway and serviceway are also used.
"Alley" is of French origin, meaning "a way to go", and has been adapted in English as above. It is also used in parts of Europe such as Germany, Croatia and Serbia as a name for a boulevard, an avenue or a parkway.
Reduced usage of alleys can result in their decline. Under use, poor maintenance, poor night time illumination and narrow width may contribute to an increase in anti-social or illegal activities.
And for other activities which i thinks is most common in other country such as the Philippines.
