PEDESTRIAN FACILITY GUIDELINES AND PRIORITISATION POINTS SYSTEM

Following a comprehensive literature review on pedestrian guidelines within Australia and overseas, a new set of warrants "Pedestrian Facility Guidelines & Prioritisation Point System" has been developed by the Pedestrian Action Plan project management team, including new guidelines and a point allocation system based, primarily, on pedestrian waiting time. The guidelines also take into account varying road widths, vehicular arrival patterns, impact on the road network, community sizes, accident history, sight distances and other factors relevant to the provision of adequate pedestrian facilities. The Priority Point System is an innovative quantitative and qualitative analysis, and involves the allocation of points to each of these factors, according to the conditions and characteristics of the selected site, allowing for the assessment and quantification of the pedestrian crossing difficulty at a particular location. An additional advantage of the proposed system is that "waiting time" is a measure that is easily understood by practitioners and the general public.
