Abstract

This report is a literature review of national and international research, policy, evaluation and other forms of evidence relating to the benefits of increased pedestrianization and improved road safety. The components of good practice programs, together with some national and international examples of programs that report positive results in encouraging increased pedestrianization and pedestrian safety, are identified. Policy directions that support and encourage increased walking and pedestrian safety are also discussed and some examples provided. The report also provides some recommendations for possible priority directions for future research, monitoring and evaluation in the area of increased pedestrianization and pedestrian safety. As part of this project, a catalogue of resources in database format to help inform Queensland Transport’s future activities was developed. The catalogue is also a resource practitioners, community organisations, local government or any other organisation or individual who wishes to access information, resource or material in relation to pedestrians.
