Design Example

Here we run through a real life example of a stretch of a road. We will look at the current state of this stretch of road, go through its uses as listed in section 4, and see the requirements of each of its uses as mentioned in section 5.

Utility uses

 

Envioremental functions

 

Static Uses

5.1 

 

People Movement

Requirements/Specification for each use

Requirements of each use case will be listed comprehensively, taking inputs from multiple sources. Were possible, the requirement will be specified numerically. The first source for the requirements would be IRC documents.

Uses of streets

There is more to a street than movement of vehicles. It also needs to be safe, usable and appealing for pedestrians, bicyclists and handicapped. It is also used for parking, turns, used by hawkers, etc. For better understanding we will classify and list these down.

Approach

To get to a design which is comprehensive and looks at all aspects of the road, we go about it in the following way.

Objective

The general expectations from a street are listed below. In other words, these are the principles/objectives on which street design should be based.
