************************************************
-Conventional approach of designing of urban road/ urban street is based all around physical "Space provision" i.e. minimum/ optimum Right of Way (ROW) required for vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian earlier a) based on Guidelines b) now based on traffic demand modeling; through these approach one can solve functionality but it still cannot assure to cater to diverse needs of urban street users
-Conventional approach gives a lot of focus on physical
safety, but ultimate objective is not just to provide everyone safe passage and
commute but its equally important more than ever that road/street users should
not feel anxiousness, intimidated and bullied everytime they are on road/
street.
-Streets must be perceived as a conduit which is supposed to
carry entities with different built, needs, capabilities, moving at a different
pace, for different purposes, with different levels of demands, expectations
and engagement as well as varying degree of impact and vulnerability.
-It's all in the name, damage starts from the moment you
start designing it as urban roads instead of urban streets- Roads are for
Vehicles, Streets are for "People First"
