§ 61.251. Classification of Pedestrian Streets.  


Latest version.
  • Pedestrian streets shall be divided into three categories as follows. Designated streets in each category shall be as shown in Figures 7 and 8.

    Primary Pedestrian Street. These streets, although they sometimes play an important vehicular traffic role, are the ones which have been designated to receive strong pedestrian emphasis, either because they carry heavy pedestrian flows or because they play an important visual role or because they link important activities or open spaces. Emphasis on the pedestrian requires wide sidewalks, frequently-spaced street trees, and other amenities to make walking a pleasant experience.

    Secondary Pedestrian Street. These streets are also important pedestrian routes, but play a secondary role in the visual and functional design structure for the streetscape.

    Mall. The Mall is a pedestrian walkway which will include provision for minor vehicular traffic required for emergency and service functions, surveillance, or access essential to existing facilities such as drive-in banks or other businesses.
