Abstract (EN)

This study proposes an analytical and evaluative method of the performances of urban intersections from the perspective of pedestrians. We further present a case study assessment of walkability of crossings and their conduciveness to walk. Implications in integrated urban and transport planning practice are emphasized as the method is suited to support decision makers involved in urban roads management to identify major spatial and operational problems and to prioritize improvement interventions.
