UWE Continuous side road study

Flower, Jonathan; Ricci, Miriam; Parkin, John

Abstract

This report summarises research undertaken by the Centre for Transport and Society at the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE) in relation to the provision of continuous footways across side road junctions as a means for providing enhanced priority and safety for people walking and people cycling. The outcomes from the research will help inform design guidance being developed by Sustrans for continuous footways. A continuous footway, which may also have a continuous cycleway lying adjacent to it, is a way of using design to establish continuous priority for pedestrians and cyclists across a side road.
The research comprises of four parts: observational studies of interactions, collision record analysis, focus groups with road users and key informant interviews. Each of these is discussed in turn, and a final section of describes the implications for the design of continuous side road crossings.
