Summary: There are no pedestrian crossings provided, although there is a pedestrian footpath leading from Fahud Street. RECOMMENDATION Provide pedestrian crossing between the roundabout and the service road merge, and also on the service road merge itself, as proposed in the following drawing: 2.4.2 PROBLEM Location: Junction with Kauther Street Summary: The pedestrian crossing on Kauther Street is positioned 24m away from the natural path of pedestrian travel (considering the layout of the pedestrian footpath that is going along the right side of the ras AL Hamra Street) and the pedestrians are encouraged to cross the street at the junction itself, rather than travelling to the right all the way to pedestrian crossing and back again. Also, the pedestrian crossing on the Ras Al Hamra Street is positioned 52m away from the pedestrian’s natural path of travel and therefore encouraging the pedestrians to cross the street away from the designated area. RECOMMENDATION Position the pedestrian crossings closer to the junction, especially if the junction will be signalized (this is however not yet confirmed). Provision of the pedestrian fence to guide the pedestrians all the way to the current pedestrian crossings is not recommended as it would require at least 200m of pedestrian fence and it
