1 How do we design for pedestrians? Case study: transforming the Walworth Road David Moores, Director of Public Realm Institution of Highways and Transportation, November 2009

2 Presentation overview Design aspirations Design techniques Proactive use of engineering in the design process Walworth Road case study

3

4 Kensington High Street

5 Walworth Road

6 Exhibition Road

7 Design aspirations Streets are about people: Integrated Design: Pedestrians Walking, shopping eating and meeting Motorists Driving, delivering, stopping and parking Transport Bus passengers and cyclists Kensington High Street

8 Design aspirations Redressing the Balance between pedestrians and vehicles. Pedestrianisation? Shared Space? Holbein Place: Before Holbein Place: After

9 Design aspirations Exhibition Road Shared space design Lead design - Dixon Jones Engineering and traffic - Project Centre

10 Design aspirations Traditional spatial design segregates uses The reality: Carriageway Footway Crossing points Bus stops Parking and loading Vehicle movement Traffic signals Access Walworth Road

11 Design aspirations Changing the traditional High Street: Integrated Space The narrow corridor of the street is shared in an integrated way. Shared space is about integration, not omission How do we integrate the tradition features of streets and roads? Walworth Road

12 Design techniques Traffic engineering gives us the design tools for successful streetscapes Signal design Vehicle swept paths Visibility splays Speed reduction Parking / servicing Junction layouts Crossings Lighting

13 Design techniques Traffic engineering to create space Aims: clarity of line and arrangement Kerbs reduce build outs Crossings where people want to cross. Informal and formal Uniformity of kerb radii Symmetry of layout Merging traffic lanes

14 Design techniques Traffic engineering to create space Integrated spaces: Footways and loading bays Bus stops within running lane Encourage pedestrians and motorists to visually share the carriageway and footway Reduce Level changes Increase footway widths Visual links materials Reducing traffic speed

15 Design techniques Design, engineering and construction Vehicle movements define space Kerb alignments frame space

16 Design techniques Traffic modelling Uses real traffic data Enables you to test designs Tests signal timings Tests location of bus stops and pelican crossings

17 Design techniques Traffic modelling Relocate bus stops Move crossing points Pelican crossings make gaps in traffic for buses to pull out Modelling shows if bus lanes can be removed

18 Design techniques Traffic engineering to create space Signalisation of crossings and junctions Objective: Create ease of pedestrian movement Slows traffic without loss of vehicle capacity

19 Design techniques Pedestrian modelling Look at pedestrian flows Look at informal crossings Redesign pavements and crossings to satisfy desire lines Signalisation for pedestrians.

20 Design techniques Design Process Engineering and construction Change the design stages: 1.Feasibility and objectives 2.Sketch design layout 3.Construction details & constraints 4.Revise layout 5.Detailed design proposals 6.Construction package Walworth Road

21 Design techniques Walworth Road

22 Design techniques Design, engineering and construction Materials Detailed alignments

23 Design techniques Construction profiles

24 Design techniques How does construction profile affect general arrangement?

25 Design techniques Tree pit design and below ground services

26 Design techniques Finalise general arrangement

27 Walworth Road: Case Study Mixed priority challenges High volumes of traffic: 20,000 vehicles per day 180 buses per hour 20,000 pedestrians 250 accidents in 3 years

28 Walworth Road: mixed priority challenges

29 Community engagement Good things 92% Convenience to central London 86% Good public transport 51% Variety of cultures 44% Variety of shops 22% Community spirit

30 Community engagement Bad things 63% Narrow/cluttered footways 58% Unclean 46% Too much traffic 41% Vandalism/unsafe 39% Crowded bus stops 39% No parks or green spaces

31 Community engagement Bad things 39% Noise/air pollution 31% Poor footways 29% Poor loading and parking 27% Lack of crossing points 23% Groups of teenagers 10% Poor street lighting

32 Community engagement - findings Issues raised at consultation: Road Safety Narrow pavements Crime and fear of crime Severance of community Lack of local identity Unfriendly environment Poor maintenance
