Commercial setups like Gyms etc found at the

beginning of the road.

Even informal job sectors like furniture making etc

present along the road.

There are not many trees on the

lane, thereby walking on this

road during the day is very

tiresome.

Mixed use buildings along the road, with building

heights mostly of ground plus one to ground plus

three.

Parking of heavy goods vehicles along the Nala,

and further along car parking is seen. In some

areas due to the mesh being open garbage

dumped.

Road Beside Nala

Collector Road There are not many trees on the

lane, thereby walking on this road

during the day is very tiresome.

A regular sight seen on this road is the

Use of water drums often placed on the

pedestrian pathway. Thereby blocking easy

circulation.

The houses along the road are mostly of

Ground floor and Ground plus one.

Characteristics of asbestos roofs etc.

Many belong to the informal sector hence we

can see push carts or autos parked along one side

of the road.

Placement of scarp items and

Other items on the pedestrian pathway again

hampering movement.

•According to the footpath

distribution ratio, 61% of

the streets in okalipuram

have no footpaths as the

roads are narrow.

•Most footpaths are not

walk able due to lot of

damages.

• Paring over footpath, since its not in a good condition.

• Crossing for pedestrians very difficult.

• Stairway on pathway.

•Parking over footpaths since demarcation.(

should have 150mm height.

•Placement of trees and utilities beyond

clear walking zone.

•No footpath hence people forced to walk on

carriage way, safety issues.

•Other utilities placed on road, no buffer to use.

•Parking as well done on streets

•Hawkers as well on street, creating a lot

of commotion.

•Way Finding

•Way finding is relatively easier because of

orthogonal blocks and heterogeneity in land use

•Walkability

•Presence of park, commercial activities along

arterial road encourages walkability.

•Orthogonal roads and less vegetation discourages

walking within residential area
