Pedestrian Planning - Design Guidelines . .
Engineering is important to accommodating pedestrian needs.
Pedestrian accommodations include more than sidewalks, they include curb cuts, lighting, multi-use paths, overpasses and underpasses, shoulders, signage, signals, marked and unmarked crosswalks. Decisions on the locations of these accommodations can be critical to the successful development of a safe and viable pedestrian environment. One of the primary goals for developing the draft State Pedestrian Plan is to provide both communities and WisDOT staff with a comprehensive resource of information such as design recommendations, current and future updates under ADA requirements, when to consider pedestrian accommodations, and why communities should consider pedestrian accommodations. Publications There are many useful publications and guidelines available when designing and developing pedestrian facilities and their use is encouraged. The site provides information relative to ADA requirements.
