Seamless Continuity

Continuity is key to ensuring accessible and safe navigation across urban spaces. Pedestrian pathways should remain unbroken, with thoughtful transitions at intersections and elevation changes to facilitate smooth, continuous movement for all individuals.

  • Design accessible paths that continue seamlessly across elevation changes, such as curbs or intersections with vehicular routes, using ramps or other solutions.
  • Use appropriate signage and markings to distinguish pedestrian spaces from roadways at shared-level intersections.
  • Ensure pathways are clear of obstacles such as street furniture, poles, or parked vehicles to ensure smooth navigation.
  • Integrate lighting along pedestrian paths for safety, especially in low-light conditions.
