Abstract

As a developing State, mixed flow of the Ahmadabad urban road traffic is most obvious characteristic at
pedestrian crossing where conflicts between the pedestrians and motor vehicle occur frequently. In this thesis, aim is to

pedestrian facilities are evaluated for the existing condition as per the guideline of HCM 2000 and feasibility study is
done by T-test method. Guidelines of pedestrian facility IRC 103:2012 and suggestion is given with design required for
