Abstract:

This Primer explains how the application of performance-based practical design (PBPD) principles combined with transportation system management and operations strategies (Operations strategies) can promote the consideration and application of Complete Street design principles to a wider range of contexts. Complete Streets often involve a reduction or re-purposing of the number of motor vehicle travel lanes on the street. This frees up space for safety and operational improvements benefiting more users of the street: auto drivers, truckdrivers, transit passengers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. PBPD, combined with operations strategies, enables the designer to consider applying Complete Street design concepts to a wider range of contexts. The result is a street system that cost-effectively meets the needs of the diverse users of the streets and the objectives of the agency.
