I would say that a snail crawls instead of walks, due to its slow and deliberate movement using its muscular foot. Walking typically involves a different motion using legs, which a snail does not possess.
A pedestrian is someone who walks on foot.

The first record of the Riddle of the Sphinx is attributed to Euripides, but probably comes from earlier Greek mythology. It asks, "What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?" The answer is, "A man, who crawls on all fours as a baby, walks on two legs as an adult, and walks with a cane in old age."
The Sphinx (with the head of a woman, body of a lioness, and serpent as a tail) asked the famous riddle, "What walks with four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening". If a brave man (or woman) answered wrong the Sphinx would kill and eat them. The answer was "man". Why? Because it describes the stages of life. A man crawls when he is a baby, walks as a grown man, and uses a cane when he grows old. ( Hence the 4 legs, 2 legs, then 3 legs.)
The riddle he solves was what walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon and walks on 3 legs in the evening? The answer was a human. 94 legs while crawling as a baby; 2 legs middle aged; and 3 legs while old (leaning on a cane).
