An Audit Of
The Pedestrian Environment in
Storrs Center and South Storrs, CT
CE 4720 5720
Spring 2016
The focus of this walking audit is the intersections but please keep in mind that other factors that are not intersection related will also affect the walking experience.
The six stations on this walking audit are given on the next page. Rating sheets are also given for each station area.
Please discuss the intersection area with your group members before coming up with a rating, then fill out your ratings individually. Consider the entire area at each location not just one crossing direction.
Some factors to focus on as you are observing the site include
i) The physical design factors such as curb cuts, width of design elements, location of signal and signal actuators,
ii) Operational issues, such as how pedestrians and vehicles are accommodated by the signal timing and speed of vehicles,
iii) The behavior and interaction of different types of road users.
Please stay on the sidewalks while doing your assessments
