Designing an environment for pedestrians should take a safe system approach of harm minimisation and meet universal design principles to ensure they meet the needs of all people.
Design guidance for footpaths, shared paths and trails. Including considerations such as width, surfaces, visibility, overhead clearances and ramps and stairs.
Pedestrians generally need to cross roads on every walking trip and may also need to cross railways, waterways and other natural features. Safe and appropriate crossings are therefore key elements in providing a connected network for pedestrians.
