REQUIRED DATA AND MAPPINGS
Neighbourhood scale & connection to wider networks
A map showing the major landmarks such as commercial, recreational, public amenities, healthcare, religious centres, institutional, transit hubs and movement pattern within one kilometre radius of the selected stretch or one kilometre extent on both sides of the selected stretch.
This mapping is useful to understand the context of the selected stretch at neighbourhood scale, the urban structure, neighbourhood character, pedestrian and vehicular movement patterns and whether there is scope for rerouting if needed.

There are two intersections that mark the study stretch of Big Bazaar road and both are signalized.
The intersection outside Town Hall, referred to in this report as the Town Hall junction, is the point where the two one way roads cross each other i.e. Big Bazaar Road and Nawab Hakim Road.
The intersection outside the Clock Tower, referred to in this report as the Clock Tower junction, is a more complex intersection as this

2. Minimum width of a kerbed urban road is 5.5 metres including allowance for a stalled vehicle.

TACTICAL URBANISM GUIDEBOOK | November 2020
Turning radius• Smaller turning radii increases pedestrian safety by shortening
crossing distance, increasing pedestrian visibility for drivers, decreasing vehicle turning speed; and making drivers look out for pedestrians while taking the turn.
• Maximum corner radius of kerb = 12 metres• It may be reduced to 6 metres in residential areas to slow down
turning buses, trucks etc.
Pedestrian crossing• Pedestrian must be given the shortest possible direct route to
cross the street. • Crossings must be provided at all the T-junctions .• The width of the pedestrian crossing must be adequate
and should generally lie within a range of 2-4m. For divided carriageways, the crossing should, as far as possible, proceed uninterrupted through the median strip. In the event of the median strip being used as pedestrian refugee, adequate width of the median must be provided.
6RXUFH��Ζ5&���������
Pedestrian refuge widths• Width of median to accommodate refuge island should be an
absolute minimum of 1200 mm• In the case of a staggered crossing arrangement to prevent two
wheelers from using the refuge island, the minimum clear width between guard rails must be 2 metres to allow two wheelchair users to pass one another.

shelter from rain and sun, information signage, lighting, refreshment kiosks, dust bins etc.
Paratransit hubs and routesRecording paratransit movement patterns along the street particularly the location of auto stands and para transit pick up / drop points and stands will ensure that they are accommodated in the design interventions appropriately.

While there are no trees within the street right-of-way, several mature trees exist within the compond walls of public buildings along Big Bazaar Road.
These trees with their large canopies provide much needed respite from the heat for pedestrians and especially those waiting at the bus stops along the street.
Sample mapping
LightingMapping of existing street lights and their light cones and identifying if there are any blind spots between light poles. Light poles must be spaced at 2.5 - 3 times the height of the pole to avoid blind spots.
In some cases, light from private buildings may also light up the public realm. These are best checked at night.
