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.

    2.3 miles wouldn’t take me an hour and 15 min. More like 45 min one way, walking 3.5 - 4 mph.

    I would not walk that regularly for the library. I would bike or more likely drive due to time, weather, and some roads between my home and the library not really being suitable to walk/bike safely the whole way. My immediate neighborhood is bike/walk friendly, but as I go out 1 - 2 miles and further, they are very much car roads not built with cyclists and pedestrians in mind.

      45 minutes each way would come to 1:15 total walking time

      But edit: OP mentions in a comment that it’s going to total 2.5 hours.

      Maybe OP is short like me. We take longer to get places
