Streets for walking and cycling: designing for safety, accessibility, and comfort in African cities

The guide emphasizes designing for safety, accessibility and comfort in African cities. These cities are fundamentally walking and cycling cities, but often lack the infrastructure and design to make these activities safe and comfortable. This design book provides detailed guidance on how to address these issues. The resource will be useful for a better design of roads, provision of safe and more convenient pedestrian crossings and separation between high-speed vehicles and people to make walking and cycling safer. Useful for city planners, engineers and architects across Africa. The findings are designed to be suitable for both public health practitioners and transport and planning professionals, facilitating two-way communication between disciplines.
