Background Information
What are People-Oriented Streets?
 
Promenade
A promenade is exclusively a public walkway that provides access for pedestrians and bikes. Promenades are often wide enough for movement and social interaction. Promenades are usually flat and of a certain length.
 
Woonerf
A woonerf is characteristically a specific kind of street layout, originating in residential neighborhoods in the Netherlands. Woonerfs employ traffic calming devices and low speed limits to force drivers to safely share street space with pedestrians.
 
Shared Street
A shared street is a roadway designed for slow travel speeds where pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists all share the right of way. They are also known as “pedestrian-priority” streets.
