Introduction
Creating a safer, more accessible, and more comfortable walking environment requires identifying the challenges facing pedestrians at a particular location. The common pedestrian issues identified below direct you to relevant toolboxes and specific tools within each toolbox. Keep in mind that most tools will not offer a quick fix: an effective and sustainable solution will likely involve several tools or strategies.

Each community member or agency (public or private) can employ some or all of the tools described to improve the pedestrian environment. The more comprehensive the approach, the more likely you are to achieve a successful, sustainable result.
