How it's used
Focuses specifically on the commercial potential of a location rather than just how many people are walking by. It is frequently used in real estate advertisements to signal that a property is a prime investment because of high foot traffic. While it implies a busy area, it is almost exclusively used in the context of leasing or selling retail space.
