Complete Streets – An Introduction to the Design of Complete Streets

Complete streets are roads and streets designed and operated to provide safe access for all users, including motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit riders. Complete streets enable users of all ages, and all physical abilities to safely move along and cross an urban street. This course presents in detail elements of design for complete streets such as intersection design guidelines, modern roundabouts, pedestrian treatments, and bicycle lane guidelines. Each element will be described in terms of the general principles, design considerations, and recommended practice. A variety of case studies will be presented.
