| Abstract | Pedestrian—vehicular segregation is one of the fundamental problems in transportation. The safe and orderly movement or pedestrians can be achieved if this problem were solved, especially tor downtown areas. The purpose or the study was to enquire into the factors which are mostly responsible for pedestrian accidents, as well as to those which can help achieve orderly flow of pedestrian movements. The report is divided into eight chapters. Chapter 1 gives overall view of the pedestrian in history, and of the problem faced in modern times. Chapter II and III give the types of pedestrian trips and pedestrian Space reguiremeuts, respectively. Chapter IV contains a discussion of the factors which contribute to pedestrian hazards. Chapter V deals with achieving pedestrian vehicular separation, and advantages and disadvantages of each method. In Chapter VI further physical aids to separate pedestrian—vehicular traffic are given. how pedestrian safety can be achieved is dealt in Chapter VII. Chapter VIII describes the pedestrian problems in Pakistan. Hopefully, the study can be used as a guide for achieving safe and orderly flows of pedestrians, particularly in downtown areas with high volumes both of pedestrians and vehicles. |
