The Walking Space Guide developed by Transport for NSW provides a set of standards and tools to assist those responsible for walking spaces on streets, to ensure that sufficient space is provided to achieve comfortable environments which encourage people to walk.
This guide contains the method for carrying out a walking space assessment and offers guidance on how to understand the results. The guide includes an accompanying spreadsheet for recording data and calculating results and includes a two page summary of the guide available for download.
The Walking Space Guide should be used to assess the walking space on Roads and Streets and on other street like spaces. Fruin assessment should be used in buildings and within stations.
