The result has been a wide diversity of publishedreports, recommended practices and changes in accessibility standards forthe planning, design and maintenance of pedestrian facilities. Much of thisinformation is out of date, too technical or detailed and occasionally tooconfusing to provide the necessary assistance for traffic engineering professionals and planners to provide adequate pedestrian facilities. This handbookconsolidates the current state-of-the-art pertaining to pedestrian facilities.It is designed to provide up-to-date information on pedestrian facilities inone document to serve the needs of planners and engineers in the majority ofcases. In those instances where additional in-depth information is required,the handbook serves to identify the relevant publications from which the information can be obtained
