I personally see cobble stones and think "pedestrian", not "car". Hence the instinct vs. observation.
Maybe I'm dating myself (Did he say he's dating himself...!) but my experience is just the opposite of your view!

In my earlier years I can remember cobble stone roads (no not Roman... I grew-up in Lowell Mass.) but have never seen cobble stone "sidewalks".

I should have noted in the previous post that the cobble stones are ground level, not elevated, as might be expected in ornamental inner circle, as opposed to a functional inner circle!
