Abstract Remit
During January 2010 I had the opportunity to attend a transport conference in the City of Adeliade South Australia. I would like to share the interesting and innovative pedestrian facilities which I discovered throughout this city.
In particular I would like to suggest the need to better integrate our urban design, urban form and pedestrian facilities.
I will discuss pedestrian school slow zones, tabled pedestrian crossing, quality urban design and some Australian research about what people enjoy on off-road shared paths.
There are a lot of pedestrian safety methods we can take from Australian and use in New Zealand.
A walkabout in Adelaide can provide something for everyone.
