You're right, but it just sounds funny and old fashioned to my British ears

Hah! I guess that, despite being a British driver, you must be unfamiliar with the Highway Code.

Yes, it sounds stilted to me too.

Well, I'm not a British driver, but am a British cyclist. I'm very familiar with some parts of the Highway Code (not so much the motorway sections), but those terms just aren't commonly used, whereas pavement and road generally are.
