	P&TS - Parking Information: Pedestrian Zone Access
		Background: Stanford University's central Pedestrian Zone (PZ) has been established to create a safer central campus for pedestrians and cyclists, preserve facilities, and minimize the disruption of university activities through the elimination of unnecessary vehicular traffic.
		There are three controlled gate entrances to the pedestrian zone, each of which governs access to a certain set of buildings.
		A Pedestrian Zone Loading/Unloading permit: These placards are issued at the PandTS office and must be displayed on your rear view mirror or dashboard.

	Car-free zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Car-free zones (also known as auto-free zones and pedestrianised zones) are areas of a city or town in which automobile traffic is prohibited.
		Central Copenhagen is one of the largest and oldest examples: the auto-free zone is centered on Strøget, a pedestrian shopping street, but it is in fact not a single street but a series of interconnected avenues which create a very large auto-free zone, although it is crossed in places by streets with vehicular traffic.
		Urban renewal activists have often pushed for the creation of auto-free zones in parts or in all of the sectors of a metropolitan area.

	Evaluating and Improving Pedestrian Safety in Utah (MPC04-157)
		Pedestrian safety literature indicates that the greatest concerns with regard to driver behavior are alcohol abuse, speeding, yielding tendency (or a lack thereof), and unlawful driving (other than speeding or being under the influence).
		The portion of pedestrians injured in pedestrian-vehicle collisions in Utah increased from 69 percent in 1993 to 92 percent in 1999.
		Pedestrian bridges, stairs and ramps must be kept free of debris and well-lit; bridges must be inspected periodically for evidence of corrosion.

	Chapter 4: Design Criteria - Right-of-Way Improvements Manual
		This zone buffers pedestrians from the adjacent roadway and is the appropriate location for street furniture, art and landscaping.
		Transit Zones are also located in the landscape/furniture zone and are designated for transit customer waiting, loading and alighting and may include transit signage, shelters, benches, litter receptacles, and pedestrian scaled lighting.
		Pedestrian zone: (10-12 feet) The pedestrian zone shall consist of a paved linear walkway that is free from obstructions.

	Chapter 4. Sidewalk Corridors - FHWA
		The curb zone also discourages motor vehicles from driving onto the sidewalk corridor and is a valuable cue used by people with vision impairments to identify the border between the sidewalk corridor and the roadway.
		The planter/furniture zone lies between the curb and pedestrian zones and is intended to house utilities, such as traffic poles and fire hydrants, and pedestrian amenities, such as benches and bus shelters.
		At a pedestrian crossing area, a planter/furniture zone is needed to ensure sufficient space between the curb and pedestrian zones for two perpendicular curb ramps.

	15.35.335 The Layout and Width of Streetfront Pedestrian Zone
		A minimum four (4) foot wide street landscaping zone shall be required adjacent to the street curb, consisting of a combination of trees, landscaping, light poles, and street furniture in a manner to be approved by the Director of Planning and Community Development.
		A pedestrian sidewalk clear-through zone shall be created along the public and/or private street frontage consisting of a minimum eight (8) foot wide paving area free of physical obstructions to pedestrian movement.
		Pedestrian corridors should be inviting in their overall design, such as through the provision of street furniture and landscaping, and should feel secure by providing adequate safety measures, such as lighting.

	zone guide for pedestrian safety, DOT HS 808 842, July 1998
		By zoning the problem and distributing materials only to the zones, a limited media budget can be made far more effective.
		Since linear zones by definition include only a segment of one roadway, a few parallel roads (within one-quarter to one-half mile) can be added to each side of a linear zone to provide an area for distribution of education materials.
		Or some element might be added to the zone (such as a school, hospital, restaurant/bar or senior residence) that would affect the zone definition process or how zone activities are carried out.

	International Pedestrian Lexicon
		Use of the term often reflects the fact that the driver was not paying attention when the person moved into their "path" and thus the pedestrian's presence was "sudden," leaving them with the conclusion that the pedestrian "darted," when in fact he may not have moved as fast as "dart" implies.
		Pedestrian seems to be the word of choice in connection with mass transit and legal usage.
		For one thing, pedestrians have to cross two lanes at a time which is always risky because the car in the farthest lane may not see them.

	Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD): Pedestrian and Worker Safety
		Pedestrians should not be led into direct conflicts with mainline traffic moving through or around the work site.
		Pedestrians should be provided with a safe, convenient travel path that replicates as nearly as possible the most desirable characteristics of sidewalks or footpaths.
		When pedestrian movement through or around a work site is necessary, the aim of the engineer should be to provide a separate, safe footpath without abrupt changes in grade or terrain.

	Pedestrian Zone (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A pedestrian is attempting to walk down the footway but is forced into the roadway because some arrogant motorist has parked a lorry on the footway, only a few metres away from a legitimate loading bay.
		The police only seem interested in driving in pedestrian precincts rather than setting an example and arresting motorists who drive or park where they are not supposed to.
		Here pedestrians are forced to mingle with vehicular traffic on a busy main road, because no pedestrian route has been created around the enclosure around a demolition site.

	Sun Star Cebu: Garcia: Pedestrian zone
		Pedestrian zones are common features of big cities around the world.
		Proposed for Cebu City’s central business district as early as 20 years ago, this is an area designated primarily for pedestrians, abolishing or limiting the passage of private and public transport.
		Osmeña has distanced himself from the granting of the permit to construct the structure, which is built on the sidewalk along D. Jakosalem St. The vendors fear that if Tan’s permit is eventually cancelled by the courts, they will be completely removed from the area and lose their precious little means of livelihood.

	Spot-On: Nicole Martinelli: Pedestrian Zone
		This fact is often beyond the understanding of most foreign pedestrians who take crosswalks at face value: bipeds have the right of way, thus cars will stop for you.
		For the average Italian driver a pedestrian is, at best, an object to be swerved around while barreling through the crosswalk.
		I have long tried to instill this bit of knowledge into visiting friends and family, along with the technique for getting Italian drivers to respect the strisce pedonali, as they are called.

	tt181 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Since most pedestrian crashes occur within one mile of the victim's home or place of business, circular zones with a radius of one mile are good geometric choices.
		If the ratio of the percent of the problem to the percent of the land area covered in the zones is much less than three, the zones may need to be reexamined to try to improve their efficiency.
		The Guide will be useful for any organization seeking to enhance pedestrian safety in their communities, whether it's on a large scale or a smaller neighborhood one.

	WorkZone Safety-Pedestrians
		The need to accommodate pedestrians in work zones can be identified by observing existing pedestrian usage and accommodations prior to the start of work.
		The presence of pedestrians in the area, existing sidewalks and other pedestrian paths, and pedestrian generators such as schools, residences, and parks, all indicate that pedestrians are likely to be present in the work zone.
		Future considerations: frequent checks of the pedestrian accommodations during construction to ensure that the temporary traffic control plan (TCP) is followed, traffic control devices are maintained in good condition, and a safe, access-ible pedestrian route is available at all times.

	Duluth City Council Ordinance - 02-015-O
		Each zone shall be configured so that the public has safe and convenient access to mass transit and also has convenient passage around the zone for those who are not transit customers.
		In some areas of the city, pedestrian travel and safety is unreasonably inhibited by persons stopping upon the public ways, or committing crimes, or conducting private business, or soliciting the public, or doing other activities which are not pedestrian travel.
		The zone shall remain in existence so long as the applicant, or the applicant's successor in interest, pays the annual renewal fee of $25, and the city council has not, by resolution, terminated the zone.

	SkyscraperCity - Pedestrian Zone for Nathan Road
		Personally, I think making a pedestrian zone for Nathan Road is a good idea, however, thinking about how many traffic congestions that will make, I don't think its practical unless they make an underground tunnel on the same route as Nathan Road.
		Pedestrian zones are good especially in retail areas.
		I have noticed that the pavements along certain sections of Nathan Road are often obstructed, resulting in pedestrians having to walk on the road and competing with vehicles for road space.

	Light Rail Fits In sub-page; Light Rail, Pedestrian Zones And 'Transit Malls'
		As can be deduced from the Karlsruhe and Amsterdam pictures the Europeans do not seem to mind cyclists using their pedestrian zones, whether or not this is really so this is certainly the impression gained from visiting these cities.
		In a pedestrian zone different coloured paving stones can clearly define the route and "swept path" of the tramway without restricting the pedestrians ability to freely walk about.
		A variant on a pedestrian zone is the transit mall, which is basically a road which is primarily reserved for public transport and emergency vehicles, although sometimes there is limited local access for other traffic too.

	Chapter 4.2
		The relevant conflict zone occupancy after the queue clears is the occupancy that is not screened by additional opposing vehicles.
		Vehicles cannot maneuver around pedestrians or bicycles, and the adjustment is logically the proportion of time the conflict zone is unoccupied from the turning driver’s perspective.
		Vehicles may have opportunities to maneuver around pedestrians or bicycles, and the effect of pdesestrians and bicycles on turning traffic is reduced.

	Vienna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The number of high-rise buildings is kept low by building legislation to preserve areas of unspoiled nature and to preserve city districts declared as world cultural heritage.
		Therefore strong rules apply to planning, authorization and construction of high-rise buildings, and as a consequence, some parts of Vienna, in particular the inner districts, are declared as highrise free zones.
		There are also two railways which run through parks: the Liliputbahn Prater in the Wiener Prater and the Donauparkbahn in Danube Park.
