Thoroughfare
Comprehensive design of streets and the movement network provide a foundation for the quality of life in towns.
As spaces for public activity, thoroughfare character derives from specifics (details / dimensions) up to overall context of the traffic system – within diverse jurisdiction (private, municipal, state) and regulations.
- CIVIC IDENTITY: pedestrians enjoy their experience alongside vehicular travel when thoroughfares become ‘complete streets’, designed as places for social connections.
- COMFORT & CONVENIENCE: each mode of movement is calibrated to complementary performance and quality of use with the other modes. Pedestrian amenity is paramount.
- TAXONOMY: streets are classified by traditional type because their attributes (visual, social, performance) are best assessed by “character” rather than exclusively by vehicle “capacity”
- INTERSECTIONS: integrating pedestrian safety, moderating traffic speed – well designed roadway crossings and junctions prioritize factors divergent from solely vehicular standards.
- PUBLIC SPACES: a variety of areas for public use are located within street R.O.W, modulating speed and geometry, contributing to civic perception of shared spaces.
