CIRCULATION
The purpose of any pedestrian circulation system is the connection it offers between various natural or
cultural amenities, including the attraction of human activity.
Pedestrian:
• Safe
• Comfortable and
• Convenient for walk
Sidewalk Zones
1. Frontage Zone: The area adjacent to the property line where transitions between the public
sidewalk and the space within buildings occur
2. Throughway Zone: The portion of the sidewalk for pedestrian travel along the street
3. Furnishing Zone: The portion of the sidewalk used for street trees, landscaping, transit stops, street
lights, and site furnishings
4. Edge Zone: The area used by people getting in and out of vehicles parked at the curbside
5. Extension Zone: The area where pedestrian space may be extended into the parking lane, via
features such as bulb-outs with mid-block plazas
ZONE WIDTH
• 18”
FRONTAGE • 2’+ (commercial and mixed-use streets)
• Less (where continuous setback is provided)

Width of Pathway:
Curb Extension
• Retain a minimum 4 feet throughway, and use narrow elements such as streetlights or bollards
in the edge zone
• Retain a 5 to 6 feet throughway and add street tree on curb extensions in the parking lane
• Optional 1 feet wide planter in the frontage zone.

Geometric Modification
http://www.pedbikesafe.org/pedsafe/countermeasures_detail.cfm?CM_NUM=4
For the footprint of bikes parked at a horizontal bike rack,
additional space will need to be added to the dimensions of
the bike. In general, the total space for bike parking, for two
bicycles should be 84" x 32".
This accounts for clearance extending beyond the length of
the bike. As well as the width of both handlebars with the
bicycle frame at the rack.
Building/Wall
When placing bike parking racks on
sidewalks, next to the street, start by
installing a recommend distance of 48" (38"
minimum) from the curb. Measuring to the
near leg of the rack, the bike rack should be
36" (24" minimum) from the curb.
Wall/Obstruction
Bike racks should then be placed 48" (36"
minimally) from each other. A 36" (24"
minimum) clearance from walls or other
obstructions will allow enough room to
maneuver the bicycle into the rack.
Bike racks should then be set back 132" from
buildings/walls. This will create a 6-foot
walkway for pedestrian traffic.

What is Ramp
• A ramp is an architectural element and inclined platform which is used as a connector of the lower and
upper level,
• In the other words ramp are sloped pathways used both inside and outside buildings used to provide
access between vertical levels.
• It is another method of providing a platform of ascent and descent between the landings or floors of a
building.
• As a sloping surface, ramps provide an alternative to stairs for wheelchair users, people with mobility
issues, bicycles and other wheeled vehicles.
• The ramps are sloped usually at 1 in 10 to 1 in 15. This method of providing a means of ascent and
descent needs a lot of space.
• The ramp floor should not be too smooth, because it may be a cause for the slippage of users. The
finishing of ramp floors is usually provided with non-slippery tiles
• The shape of the ramp does not need to be straight. It can be of any geometric shape.
• Ramps are mainly constructed in government buildings (such as hospitals, government offices,
school buildings, colleges, etc.) where people’s movement is huge.
Design Considerations
• An exterior location is preferred for ramps. Indoor ramps are less recommended because they take
up a great deal of space.
• Ideally, the entrance to a ramp should be immediately adjacent to the stairs.
• If a ramp is not adjacent to a wall, edge protection shall be provided at least 2 inches high on both
sides of the ramp to prevent injuries when using assistive devices. Edge protection on one side of
the ramp is permitted when the other side adjoins a wall or other vertical surface.
Ramp Configuration
Width
Slope
The maximum recommended slope of ramps is 1:20. Steeper slopes may be allowed in special cases
depending on the length to be covered
Cars
The gradient of a ramp and its going (horizontal distance) between landings must be in
accordance with the following table:
Landings
• Ramps should be provided with landings for resting, maneuvering and avoiding excessive speed.
• Landings should be provided every 10.00 m, at every change of direction and at the top and
bottom of every ramp.
• The landing should have a minimum length of 1.20 m and a minimum width equal to that of the
ramp
A ramp with a slope between 1:12 and 1:16 can have a maximum horizontal length of 30’ | 9.14
m without a landing. A ramp with a slope between 1:16 and 1:20 can have a horizontal run up to
40’ | 12.19 m before requiring a landing.
Handrail
• A protective handrail at least 0.40 m high must be placed along the full length of ramps.
• For ramps more than 3.00 m wide, an intermediate handrail could be installed .
• The distance between handrails when both sides are used for gripping should be between 0.90 m
and 1.40 m
Surface
Mechanical Ramps
• Mechanical ramps can be used in large public buildings but are not recommended for use by
persons with physical impairments.
• If the ramp is to be used by a wheelchair-confined person, the slope should not exceed 1:12.
• The maximum width should be 1.00 m to avoid slipping.
Tactile marking
• A colored textural indication at the top and bottom of the ramp should be placed to alert sightless
people as to the location of the ramp.
• The marking strip width should not be less than 0.60 m.
