Public Spaces: Itineraries

Bridges and Crosswalks for Safety

Bridges and crosswalks ensure safe pedestrian movement across roads and barriers. With wide lanes, separation from vehicles, and good visibility, they promote safety while enhancing the aesthetic and functional quality of urban spaces.

  • Bridges should have widths similar to large avenues, separating vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian flows.
  • Ensure pedestrian lanes are the largest among all flows for safety and comfort.
  • Integrate the bridge design into the surrounding landscape to ensure aesthetic continuity.
  • Enable park or plaza-like activities along pedestrian bridges.
