A Resident's Guide for Creating Safe and Walkable Communities
Chapter 1: How can I identify problems with walking conditions in my neighborhood?
Linking problems to solutions
Once you've identified and documented the pedestrian problems in your community, you can start to discuss potential solutions and next steps to take to address your concerns. The next few sections will help you identify who to contact and will give you ideas for potential pedestrian safety improvements.
Remember that the best solutions usually use a combination of approaches—engineering, education, enforcement, and other ways—to be effective and long lasting.
