DESCRIPTION:

This report identifies bicycle and pedestrian programs and policies in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, concentrating on useful lessons for U.S. transportation professionals and policy makers. It argues that income, climate, and level of motorization do not fully explain variations in levels of bicycling and walking. Instead, social perception of these modes, safety factors, urban design and land use, and transportation pricing are the key factors. Strategies identified for pedestrians include traffic calming, part-time pedestrian zones, amenities for the visually disabled, facility and network design, land use planning, pricing, and costs. Illustrations of traffic calming techniques and a list of references are included.
