Features that create context
• Land use
– Defines urban activity
– Major factor in design criteria
• Site design
– Arrangement of buildings, circulation, parking and landscape
– Vehicle or pedestrian-orientation
• Building design
– Height, massing shape context
– Create enclosure/pedestrian interest

26


Land use influence
• Major factor in thoroughfare design
• Influences:
•Travel demand
•Activity in roadside
•Width of roadside
•On-street parking
•Target speed
•Freight and transit

27


Site design
Feature Auto Oriented Pedestrian Oriented
Building – Set well back into – Oriented to, and adjacent to
Orientation and private property street
Setback – Oriented to parking or – Direct pedestrian entrance
landscape on street
– Integrated with street using
stoops, arcades, cafes
Parking Type and – Surface lot between – Under or behind building
Orientation buildings and street access by alleys
– Structured
– On-street
Block Length - Large blocks, often with - Short blocks
no public throughway - High connected network
- Superblocks

28


Building design
• Significant contributor to
context defined by:
– Height and thoroughfare
enclosure
– Width
– Scale and variety
– Entries

29


Street enclosure
• Building height to
thoroughfare width
ratios:
– 1:4 suburban
– 1:2-1:3 urban
• Pedestrians first
perceive enclosure at a
1:4 ratio

30


CSS tenet - thoroughfare design changes as
context changes
The thoroughfare both responds to and contributes to
shaping the context and defining the place

31


Thoroughfare types
• Three classifications:
– Boulevard
– Avenue
– Street
• Basis for:
– Physical configuration
– Design criteria
– Design speed

32


Functional classification in thoroughfare design
• Function and role in the network
– Continuity
– Trip purpose and length
– Level of land access
– Type of freight
– Types of public transit
• Design controls
– Design speed for sight distance
– Horizontal and vertical curvature

33


Relationship: functional classification and thoroughfare type

34


Thoroughfare type in design
• Design criteria
– Target speed (desirable operating speed)
• Physical configuration
– With surrounding context
• Dimensions for:
– Roadside
– Traveled way
– Intersections

35


Thoroughfare type characteristics

Considerations in cross-section design
• Local objectives
• Stakeholder priorities
• Adjacent activities
• Functional class
• Context zone and
thoroughfare type
• Modal requirements
• Other conditions
– Right-of-way
– Traffic volumes
– Vehicle mix

55


Stages in cross-section design
1. Establish general parameters based on:
– Context zone
– Select starting cross-section
2. Determine number of lanes based on:
– Community objectives
– Long-range transportation plan
– Corridor/network capacity analysis
– Maximum 6 lanes in walkable urban areas
56


Stages in cross-section design
3. Determine design and control vehicle
4. Identify transit, freight, and bicycle requirements
– Establish dimensions
5. Develop ideal cross-section - compare to ROW
– Acquire ROW or narrow design elements, or
– Widen high priority elements to match ROW
– Avoid combining minimal widths

57


Designing in constrained ROW
• Prioritize design elements
• Develop sections
– Optimal – unconstrained
– Predominant – all priority elements
– Functional minimum – many priority elements
– Absolute minimum – highest priority only
• ROW width less than absolute minimum
– Acquire ROW incrementally
– Change thoroughfare type

58


Lane widths
• Up to 35 mph: 10-12 feet
• Over 35 mph: 11-12 feet
• With buses: 11-12 feet
• Bike lanes: 5-6 feet (4 feet outside gutter pan)
• Parking: 7-8 feet

59


Medians
• Functions
– Access management
– Pedestrian refuge
– Left turn lanes
– Aesthetics
• Widths
– 4-22 feet
• Landscaping
– Trees (45 mph or less)
• 6-10 foot medians - less than 4 inch caliper
• 1½ feet lateral clearance
60


Transitions
• Geometric transitions (use AASHTO)
– Change in thoroughfare width
– Lateral shifts
– Lane drops
• Location: on tangent sections
• Context, visual, operational, environmental transition
– Speed zone transition
– Visual cues
• Urban design, land uses, building design, gateways, signs
– Change width of thoroughfare

approaches
– Minimize curb radii consistent with
design/control vehicle
– Ensure good visibility
– Balance vehicle LOS with
pedestrian convenience and safety

80


• Urban intersections - Design elements

Intersections – simplify for all modes

84


• Intersections – Curb return radius - recommended
practice
– Consider
• Design vehicle
• Effective width
• Curb return radii
– Minimum radius = 5 feet
– Use 10-15 feet radius
• High ped volumes
• Low turning volumes and speed
• Bike/parking lanes create higher effective radii

85

FDOT TDLC Roads Planning, Environmental Analysis and Design

Curb extension and effective corner radius

86


Curb extensions
• Improve visibility
• Reduce crossing width
• On streets with parking
– Extend curb line 1 ft. less than parking
width
– Curb return radius for control vehicle
– Use with bus stops to increase waiting
area

87


Channelized right turns - recommended
practice
• Generally discouraged in walkable
environments
• Signalized intersections with heavy right
turns
• Low pedestrian volumes
• Where pedestrian volumes high – eliminate
or install pedestrian signal
• Low-angle turn
• Clear visibility
• Illumination

Rule of thumb for success
• No reasonable, feasible, practical solution available that
meets criteria, or
• Selection of proposed criteria is advantageous and
results in overall superior design
and
• Use of proposed criteria is not expected to unduly
degrade or hinder safety or operational performance of
the proposed facility
