Movement Systems and Road Planning

This document discusses various aspects of planning movement systems, including types of movement, road layout considerations, and street patterns. It covers the following key points: 1. Types of movement systems include pedestrian, vehicular, and different modes of transporting people, goods, waste, and information. 2. Important factors for road layouts are minimum distances between intersections, lane traffic capacity, sidewalk widths, and setbacks when trees are present. 3. There are five basic street patterns: radial, ring, grid, hierarchical, and linear. The grid system is most typical but each has advantages and disadvantages. 4. Facilities like walks, surfaces, rest areas, gradients, lighting, and curb ramp

PLANNING 1

MOVEMENT SYSTEMS
Pedestrian
Vehicular
Road Layouts
Is the method or order of all action of a
person or a group in a series of organized
activities working concentrate toward
some goal?
The types of floor system are:
1. Movement of people
2. Movement of goods
3. Movement of waste.
4. Movement of information.

They are carried either in wheeled vehicles, on foot on rails,


in the air in water in pipes or wire and an endless bolts.
Types of channels movement
1. The graded and surfaced right of ways for the
pedestrians or wheeled vehicles.
2. The rails systems.
3. The wires conveying power information.
4. The gravity flow serves carrying of surface drainage and
water, borne waste.
5. The pressure pipes supplying such fluids of water, gas
steam, and even bulk materials in water suspension.
Road layout; Street Planning consideration are:
1. Minimum distance between intersections on the major
street at highway should be 800 ft. to 1000ft.
2. Lane traffic should carry from 600 to 800 cars per
hours.
3. Sidewalks, when used should be a minimum of 4 ft
(1.20 m).
4. When trees are planted between curb & the sidewalks,
the sidewalk should be set back approximately 8 ft (2.40
m).
The important uses for roads are:
1. Primarily means for circulation and become the back
bone of our communities.
2. Space for human activities, buying, selling paying and
socializing.
3. Location for our utilities, sanitary sewers, gas,
electricity, water telephone, storms drainage, etc.
4. System of safety services i.e. fire and police alarm and
hydrants.
5. A neighborhood setting creating a basic community
image, neighborhood identity and character.
6. Routes for pedestrian, bicycle, equestrian and other
motorized movement
7. Visual orientation and direction.
There are five Basic Patterns that guide the conceptual
organization of street alignment project, namely;
Radial: major roads leading to the center & the center
becoming very important.
Ring: major roads concentric to each other.
Grid: most typical pattern, uniform with square,
triangular, to hexagonal.
Hierarchical: like a tree or river with special roads
serving a specific number & type of traffic.
Linear: straight major roads serving adjacent
developments via minor roads connecting to them.

ROAD NETWORK FACILITIES
Walks
Designed to allow greatest diversity of people to move
safely, indefinitely & unhindered through the exterior.

Surfaces
Should be stable & firm relatively smooth in texture, have
no slip quality.

Rest Areas
Often the traveled path is enjoyable & helpful for all
pedestrian, especially those with handicapped.
ROAD NETWORK FACILITIES
Gradients
Pedestrian path with gradient 5% are considered walk, with
gradients 5% can be negotiated in independently by the
average wheel chair usually. Grades of 4% should have
short level areas approximately every 100 ft. to allow a
chair bound person using walk to stop & rest.
Lighting
along walkways should vary from ft. to 5 ft. depending in
the intensity of pedestrian use.
Maintenance
Of walk, is imperative including surfaces lighting &
drainage structure.
ROAD NETWORK FACILITIES

Curb Ramps
Changes in grade from the side walk to building entrances
create numerous problems for people with physical
handicapped. A curb ramp slip should be placed flush
with the surfaces on which they occur.

Wheel Stops
Should be 2 to 3 inches high & girdles wide with breaks in
them every 5 to 10 ft. to allow water drainage of the walk.
