Commentary for Ketubot 62:7

לעולם כר' אליעזר וכי אמר ר"א צידי רה"ר כרה"ר דמו הני מילי לענין חיובא דשבת דזימנין דדחקי רבים ועיילי להתם אבל לענין מיקנא קני מ"ט דהא לא שכיחי רבים

Indeed, it is according to R. Eliezer, and when R. Eliezer says: The sides of the public road are like the public road, these words refer only to the obligation for transgressing Shabbat, because sometimes people push and go there, but with regard to acquiring, one does acquire there. Why [not]? Because the public is not often there.
