Although there is on-street parking along one side of the street and continuous pedestrian movement, arrangement results in vehicular speeds of over 30 km/ hr peak times. This is a matter of concern because in the absence of safe crossing points, the risk of pedestrian fatalities can rise exponentially with collision speeds beyond 30 km/ hr.

RELEVANT STANDARDS AND THUMB RULES
Standards for carriage way lane widths
Description Notes 1. For access roads to residential Single lane without kerb 3.50 areas, a lower lane width of 3 2-lane without kerb 7.00 metres is permissible. 2-lane with kerb 7.50 2. Minimum width of a kerbed 3-lane with or without kerb 10.5 / 11.0 urban road is 5.5 metres 4-lane with or without kerb 14.0 including allowance for a 6-lane with or without kerb 21.0 stalled vehicle. measure.
TACTICAL URBANISM GUIDEBOOK | November 2020 Pedestrian crossing • Pedestrian must be given the shortest possible direct route to cross the street. • Crossings must be provided at all the T-junctions . • The width of the pedestrian crossing must be adequate and should generally lie within a range of 2-4m. For divided carriageways, the crossing should, as far as possible, proceed uninterrupted through the median strip. In the event of the median strip being used as pedestrian refugee, adequate width of the median must be provided.
Pedestrian refuge widths • Width of median to accommodate refuge island should be an absolute minimum of 1200 mm • In the case of a staggered crossing arrangement to prevent two wheelers from using the refuge island, the minimum clear width between guard rails must be 2 metres to allow two wheelchair users to pass one another.
Turning radius • Smaller turning radii increases pedestrian safety by shortening crossing distance, increasing pedestrian visibility for drivers, decreasing vehicle turning speed; and making drivers look out for pedestrians while taking the turn. • Maximum corner radius of kerb = 12 metres • It may be reduced to 6 metres in residential areas to slow down turning buses, trucks etc.

Additionally, turning radius may be reduced up to 3 metres in urban roads to reduce the speed of turning vehicles and make it more safer for pedestrians to cross at intersections.
