Accessibility to heritage areasWhats happening?
Presence of both traditional non-motorised modes and modern motorised modes Roads designed for neither of them Conflicts between modes leading to inefficient usage of space
What do we need?Minimise conflicts and make them universally accessibleHow do we achieve universal accessibility?Understanding the varying user needs-mode wiseIdentifying their space requirements
Distributing the available road space equitablyDesigning these spaces for universal accessibilitySlide3
Case Studies-Two world heritage sitesShahjahanabad
Area, Delhi, IndiaBuilt in 1638 AD by emperor Shahjahan
Border between Old-Delhi and New-Delhi Delhi gate, Turkman Gate, Heritage trees, New Delhi Railway Station, Delhi Stock Exchange, Kamala MarketHumayun Tomb, Delhi, India
Built in 1562 AD by Humayun's wife Hamida Banu Begum

Traffic Demand analysisFocusing on moving people rather than vehicles1 Car = 2.3 persons1 2-Wheeler = 1.1 persons
1 Bus = 60 persons1 3-Wheeler = 1.8 persons1 Bicycle = 1 person
1 Rickshaw = 1 personSlide14
Existing Modal Split
Passenger
Modal
Shares-ShahjahanabadSlide15
Passenger Modal Share-Humayun TombSlide16
Findings from SurveysExisting road designs not catering to the activities along the roadsPedestrians and Public transport users form majority of the traffic
High speed differential between modes sharing the carriageway leading to conflictsExisting road designs are car-oriented and an equitable approach towards road design is requiredSlide17

Proposed Bus Stops

LEGEND
PROPOSED BUS STOPS
(PLYING FROM DELHI GATE) TO AJMERI GATE
ZONE OF INFLUENCE
Proposed bus stops
are provided at a distance of
400m to 600m (5min walking distance
) from each other.
Zone of Influence is taken as 400m radius (800m dia.)
All bus stops must be universally accessible.
• Bus Stops should preferably be located within the
Multi-Functional Zone – so that they do not interfere
with the
1.8 M clear walking zone for passing
pedestrians at the back.

ConclusionsFocus should be on moving people rather than vehiclesSpatial segregation of motorised and non-motorised modes is required to resolve the traffic conflicts in Heritage areas
Prioritize access by walking, cycling and public transport ahead of private motorised modes
Make designs as per ‘Universal Design Guidelines’Slide26
