Vehicular Ramps and Pedestrian Pathways
Vehicular ramps and pedestrian pathways should be designed to avoid interference with pedestrian movement. Clear crossings, smooth transitions, and obstacle-free paths ensure safety and accessibility for everyone, improving the flow of people throughout urban spaces.
- Keep pedestrian crossings clear, allowing for continuous movement across roads.
- Manage changes in elevation carefully between pedestrian and vehicular pathways.
- Ensure visibility and safety by removing obstacles that hinder pedestrian movement or block sightlines.
- Improve visibility at crosswalks by allowing bike parking on the vehicle-approaching side and maintaining a clear distance of at least 6 meters before the crossing point.
- Vehicular ramps should not interfere with pedestrian pathways.
- Ensure ramps do not coincide with pedestrian-only ramps to maintain safe walking conditions.
