Overview
Well-designed streets and junctions are crucial to enabling people to move efficiently, particularly (though not only) within urban centres where space is constrained. Street designers also have an important role to play in the creation of high-quality, healthy built environments.
Key Features
In this Street Network Planning and Design module at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) you will learn how to evaluate, plan and design people centred, multi-modal streets and junctions. You will examine how best practice street and junction design principles accommodate the needs of all groups in society, giving consideration to characteristics such as age, gender, and disability; and making appropriate provision for all forms of movement, including walking, wheeling, cycling, public transport and general traffic.The module will support your approach to street and junction design issues by also developing your knowledge of road safety and risk management, conceptions of movement and place, traffic flow theory and junction capacity analysis, including the application of industry standard junction modelling techniques.Programme Structure
