Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads: Chapter 6 - Pedestrian Integrated Design

The Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads contains the current design and human factors research and practices for roadway geometric design. It replaces the 1999 edition of the Guide and subsequent revisions. The Guide provides guidance to planners and designers in developing design solutions that meet the needs of a range of users while addressing the context of local conditions and environments. Design guidelines for freeways, arterials, collectors, and local roads, in both urban and rural locations are included as well as guidance for integrated bicycle and pedestrian design. The Guide is organized into ten chapters to cover the entire design process from design philosophy and roadway classification to design parameters and specific guidelines for the safe accommodation of vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians on linear road elements and at intersections. The chapters are: Design Philosophy; Design Controls, Classification and Consistency; Alignment and Lane Configuration; Cross Section Elements; Bicycle Integrated Design; Pedestrian Integrated Design; Roadside Design; Access; Intersections; and Interchanges. Chapter 6 – Pedestrian Integrated Design provides guidance and examples on how to integrate holistically the design of pedestrian facilities into roadway design to achieve a balanced solution for all modes and road users. Guidance is provided on pedestrian and wheelchair design needs, use of a framework approach to design, which subdivides the roadside into frontage, pedestrian through and furnishing zones and specific design elements. Integration with other design elements including adjacent roadway lane widths, roundabouts and bridges and other travel modes is addressed.
