PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICULAR CIRCULATION

Design for campus safety involves bringing together landscape, architecture, and wayfinding to naturally control
pedestrian circulation and ensure safe passage around, and for, vehicular traffic

Prevent pedestrians from passing behind and between buildings or in other ‘blind spots’ that could pose a risk
in terms of visibility and their safety.

Placing parking and vehicular circulation away from the center of campus to foster a more active campus
core and prevent outsiders from being able to quickly enter and exit common spaces

STANDARDS

Pedestrian Pathways:
Minimum width: 1.5 meters. However, wider pathways (2–3 meters) are preferable in high-traffic areas
to ensure comfort and safety for pedestrians.
Vehicular Roads:
For single-lane roads: Minimum width should be 3.5 meters.
For two-lane roads: The minimum width is typically 7 meters.
For multi-lane roads, the width increases depending on the number of lanes, but each lane typically
requires a width of 3.5 meters.
Bicycle Paths:
Minimum width: 1.5 meters, though a width of 2 meters is recommended for more comfort and safety in
high-traffic areas.

Turning Radius

For Passenger Vehicles (Cars):


Minimum turning radius: 5 meters (standard cars).
Ideal turning radius: 6–8 meters for smooth turns and to accommodate larger vehicles like SUVs.
For Buses and Larger Vehicles:
Minimum turning radius: 12 meters (buses and trucks).
Ideal turning radius: 15–18 meters for smooth movement and to prevent sharp turns.
For Bicycle Paths:
The turning radius for bicycle lanes should be no less than 3 meters, though more generous radii (e.g.,
4–5 meters) are recommended to ensure smooth and safe turns for cyclists.

Junbin Xua , Zhiyong Zhanga , Jian Ronga: The Campus Road Planning and Design Research - 2012
Lane width & length
The motor vehicle speed is significantly influenced by lane length rather than lane width.
To ensure campus motor vehicle speed remains at or below 30 km/h, both lane width and length should
be considered for safety.
The car road width should not exceed 9 meters.
For a 5-meter wide traffic lane, the recommended path length is 150 meters.
For traffic lanes of 6.5 meters and 7 meters, the path length should also be around 150 meters, based
on the 5-meter reference lane.
If the road length between two functional areas exceeds 150 meters, consider adding speed-reducing
measures, such as speed bumps or zones, to ensure campus safety.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, USA

Stanford University uses a virtual parking permit system for


managing parking across its campus. Here’s how it works:
1. For Commuters, Residents, and Departments:
• Users can purchase virtual permits online.
• License plate information is registered and linked to the permit,
eliminating the need for physical permits.
2. For Visitors:
• Visitors can use the ParkMobile app to pay for parking in
designated areas.
• Tour groups must pre-book parking spaces.

This system simplifies parking management, reduces paper use,


and enhances convenience. For more details, visit Stanford
Transportation’s website.

ALTERNATIVES
AND PRACTICES
SPEED CONTROLS
Speed of the vehicles and width of the roads are closely linked. as the width increases the
vehicle tends to move faster. There are several ways to control the speed of the vehicles.
They are:

By curves and tighter radius bends. By devices such as rumble strips, humps etc By signs and signals

By reducing the width of the road

Landscape and path College of engineering trivandrum

Desire lines can also indicate where paths are needed as planted surfaces and earth are not resistant to
heavy foot traffic. The landscape circulation must be sensitive to the effects of topography on people's
choice of route. People often prefer to walk on steeply sloping ground rather than use steps with high
risers, and will also make shortcuts if a path on sloping ground appears to be too indirect.
