Abstract:

Highway engineers, urban designers, decison-makers, and the general public will be interested in the research findings of this two-part report. A wealth of information has been drawn from interviews and discussions with planning and design practitioners, recent research, and 28 case studies of pedestrian facilities from around the United States. The first part of the report presents guidelines and principles that can be used by practitioners in planning, designing, and implementing pedestrian facilities, with emphasis on planning and implementation. The second part of the report presents detailed supporting information and examples of both good and bad planning and design practice. Together, the reports (NCHRP Report 294A and NCHRP Report 294B) present a methodology for providing convenient and safe pedestrian movement for suburban and developing rural areas.
