The pedestrian walking data collected at nineteen locations in five cities of India are analyzed in this paper …. Pedestrian facilities are classified based on their width as sidewalk, wide-sidewalk and precincts. The analysis indicates that … the pedestrian free flow speed is high on sidewalks (1.576 m/s) and low on precincts (1.340 m/s). The increase in width of …
