CaSE Highway Design Note 3: Vulnerable Road Users

This design note is an outcome of the Cost and Safety Efficient Design for Rural Highways in Developing Countries Project. The project aims to identify safe and cost-effective engineering designs. This note provides technical information on the engineering of a road that is safe for pedestrians to walk alongside it, and is accompanied by photographs and diagrams. The following design topics are addressed: shoulders as footpaths; diversion roads as footpaths; segregated footpaths; cycle lanes and cycle paths; and motor cycle lanes. The note also includes a case study from Nepal.
