Footpath



The National Urban Transport Policy has this to say about pedestrian infrastructure in cities:

''Non-motorized modes are environmentally friendly and have to be given their due share Pedestrian safety is adversely affected by the lack of safe crossing facilities at busy intersections It has been the experience that many cycle tracks and pedestrian paths do not get used as initially envisaged. . . this is because these facilities are designed badly and without fully recognizing the limitations and problems faced by cyclists or pedestrians Such facilities be constructed after an open debate on the designs with experts and the community that is expected to use them. . . public appraisal would lead to designs that enable greater use by the potential beneficiaries.
