The sidewalks are buckling from neglect. In the story, no one takes walks anymore and instead they stay home and watch TV. The narrator who is taking an evening stroll is viewed as suspect for being so outside the general norm of society.

In "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury, sidewalks are described as lumpy and buckling because in the futuristic society depicted in the story, walking outside and interacting with one's environment is uncommon. The lack of foot traffic and maintenance contribute to the deterioration of the sidewalks, emphasizing the desolation and isolation experienced by the protagonist.
