Comparative analysis, pedestrian traffic, policy recommendations, walk ability

This paper aims to Make a Comparative analysis of the pedestrian pathways of Anna Nagar west and T-Nagar to understand the efficiency of policies and guidelines for designing pedestrian pathway and identify the micro and macro-level factors that influence its walkability. The vehicle population in Chennai was 28.1 million(2008) and it is estimated that by the year 2026 there will be 17.3 million daily vehicle trips[10]. However, in the state of Tamil Nadu motorised vehicles serve only 28% and in Chennai of the total trips made by people[2] and more than 45% are made by pedestrians and cyclists. Yet the roads are designed to facilitate motorised transport and pedestrian pathways are not well equipped to carry the volume of pedestrian traffic it has to accommodate. To analyse the walkability of pedestrian pathways ,standards and design guidelines for pedestrian pathways and pedestrian-friendly streets are to be studied. This helps in identifying and developing parameters required for the comparative analysis of the case studies on the same subject and the conclusions from this analysis will help in comprehending the efficiency of the pedestrian pathway policies and guidelines and in identifyin the micro and macro level factors that contribute to the walkability of the site selected. The 2nd avenue road in Anna Nagar west and Pedestrian plaza in Pondy bazaar have been identified as the sites for evaluation and Comparative analysis.The results of the comparitive analysis revealed that when the policy recommendations are followed the comfort level in the corresponding pedestrian pathways was also higher . Also existence of bollards turned out to be discomforting the pedestrian due to improper implementation. One important factor that contributed to increasing the walk ability of the pedestrian pathway was the existence of trees in the pedestrian pathway .Thus some factors that encourage and discourage pedestrian comfort have been identified.
