From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Roads can be pedestrian-friendly by measures such as:
- no other traffic allowed; in addition poles may prevent cars from entering
- low speed limit for other traffic
- wide pavements
- pedestrian crossings, especially with priority for pedestrians
- restrictions on advertising material cluttering shopping streets
- a partial or full roof to protect from precipitation.
- roller skating and skateboarding not allowed
- pavement cafés leave enough room for walking
- in hot regions: sufficient shade
- benches for resting
