pedestrian-friendly infrastructure

Pedestrian-friendly infrastructure includes features that make walking safe, convenient, and comfortable. This includes wide, well-maintained sidewalks, safe crosswalks with clear signals, adequate lighting, and curb cuts for accessibility. It also involves traffic calming measures like speed bumps, and greenery such as trees providing shade. The goal is to encourage walking as a practical alternative to driving, reducing traffic congestion and pollution, while promoting safer, healthier communities. These features create an environment where pedestrians feel secure and motivated to walk for daily activities, exercise, or leisure.
