Pedestrian-friendly

Roads can be pedestrian-friendly by measures such as:

• no other traffic allowed; in addition poles may prevent cars from entering
• low speed limit for other traffic
• wide pavements
• pedestrian crossings, especially with priority for pedestrians
• restrictions on advertising material cluttering shopping streets
• a partial or full roof to protect from precipitation.
• roller skating and skateboarding not allowed
• pavement cafés leave enough room for walking
• in hot regions: sufficient shade
