Public Spaces: Itineraries

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.

Vehicle ramp and pedestrian path with accessible crossing, careful management of elevation changes, removal of obstacles that hinder pedestrian movement, bicycle parking, signage and lighting.
  • 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.
