A vicambulist is someone who walks around in the streets. That’s definitely me, although I’d prefer not to be called a street-walker as that word has other connotations.
Today as I walked around I met a group of workers who were replacing the traffic light pole at the north-east corner of the Barbadoes/Kilmore Street intersection. It became bent when hit by a vehicle.
A night-foundered vicambulist is a street-walker (with or without other connotations) who has got lost in the darkness. This is definitely not me, as if I walk at night I stick to streets I know well. Are you a vicambulist too?
A call for help must needs be sounded
if someone walking is night-foundered
Ruth's Reflections 
This reminds me of the concept of the flāneur – one who strolls and observes. It was a thing in la belle ēpoque. There is a Flaneur magazine which explores a street per issue, and a website: https://www.flaneurlife.com/flaneur-meaning/ Clearly there are many still enamoured of walking – as am I.

PS The website, A Flāneur Life, is described as “an internet home for free range humans”!
