PROBLEM - LACK OF PEDESTRIAN INFRASTRUCTURE

Summary: Risk of possible collision with severe consequences

Risk assessment: High Risk (Severity: Serious, Frequency: Probable)

A number of pedestrians were observed walking on the shoulders of the road and thereby sharing the roadway with passing vehicles. This is a result of lack of pedestrian infrastructure and this puts the pedestrians in danger.

Recommendation

Sidewalks should be investigated for their warrant, possibly a pedestrian infrastructure study should be considered to be undertaken. The pedestrian study will reveal the location of sidewalks, the width of sidewalks with all the necessary infrastructure in ensuring that the pedestrians are protected from the passing vehicles.
