For ideas and help in creating your own way-nding signs, check
out the "Walk Your City”movement.
The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center atUniversity of
North Carolina has everything from detailed summaries of arange
pedestrian (and bicycle) treatments, to data on walking and
cyclingparticipation, programs, and safety, funding, data
collection, and a wonderfullibrary of photos you can use to help
others imagine a more walkable community.
The National Association of City Transportation Ofcials (NACTO)
has developed an Urban RoadwayDesign Guide that summarizes tested
and proven designs that optimize performance and safety
forpedestrians, transit, bicycles, and drivers. It discusses and
wonderfully illustrates everything fromlane widths, signs, and
trafc calming to crosswalks, intersection design, and parklets.
NACTO created a specic Urban Bikeway Design Guide summarizingand
illustrating a range of designs for bicycle facilities, from
shared-usearrows to protected bicycle lanes and separated
pathways.
A great compilation of the leading evidence regarding what
comprises more walkable, bicycle- andtransit-friendly communities
and their benets is maintained at the Active Living Research center
ofUC San Diego. They also have great research summaries and
archived webinars.
The cost for most of these treatmentsdepends on the specic local
conditions and economy, materials used, and challenges unique to
thesite. However an outstanding webinar and compilation of typical
price ranges, useful for comparisonand very rough budgeting, can be
found here.
By Mark Fenton; compiled from key informant interviews with
twelve long-term practitioners in the eld of
walkability, building on the practice wisdom of these “elders”
with expertise such as trafc engineering, publichealth, urban
planning, elected ofcials, and law enforcement.
