This can be achieved through the consistent use of materials, good wayfinding signage, and a logical approach to street design. ‘Protecting’ Improve safety and ensure that streets are secure. a) Create safer streets –slowing traffic speeds where appropriate, maintaining good visibility and reducing the likelihood of collisions. b) Improve the perception of personal security – design and manage our streets to actively reduce crime and the fear of crime. c) Reduce crime and disorder – design teams have a duty to ensure that highway schemes provide a safe and secure environment and do not create opportunities for crime. This is especially important for pedestrian and cycling only routes. ‘Sustaining’ Reduce road network emissions and support clean, green initiatives for a healthier and more active city. a) Resilient design – mitigate the impact of current and future climatic conditions by assessing, managing and minimising risk through good design. Plant trees and integrate sustainable urban drainage systems to better accommodate surface water runoff. b) Invest in modal change – support sustainable transport modes with greater capacity for cycling and higher quality public realm to enable walking. c) Low carbon materials – priority should be given to materials that support local economies and reduce negative environmental impacts.
