QUESTION 3
Q2-B) For safety purposes, the mall has decided to build an exclusive pedestrian walkway so the bus users can reach the mall without going through the parking area. If you were asked to design this walkway and were provided with the following design data and criteria:
• Desired level of service is LOS B
• Average pedestrian speed = 3.5 km/hr.
• Pedestrian peak hour volume in peak direction = 973 pedestrians.
• No pedestrian platooning was observed; and
• The grade of the walkway is assumed to be level.
Determine the minimum reguired width of the walkway
