Tuesday Feb 16, 2021
Tuesday Feb 16, 2021
This webinar presents how to ensure intersections are planned and designed appropriately for pedestrians, and where to find that guidance in Austroads’ guides.
The webinar covers the following key topics:
- what data to collect
- types and how they impact pedestrians
- selection process
- design of each type to improve walking outcomes
- best practice examples.
Presented by Ann-Marie Head and Jeanette Ward.
This session is the third in the series of webinars held by Austroads to step practitioners through the updated pedestrian planning and design information.
Austroads’ review of the pedestrian planning and design guidance in the Guide to Traffic Management (AGTM) and Guide to Road Design (AGRD) identified a total of 120 planning and design gaps. Recommended changes to the AGTM were published in April 2020 followed by a series of exceptionally popular webinars.
Recommended changes to the AGRD have been reviewed and approved by the Road Design Task Force and will find their way into the AGRD as part of its update and restructure planned by the Road Safety & Design program in FY20-21.
