The Sadak could have a median barrier for directional segregation. Parking is allowed only when the traffic is less than 25% of the road capacity and that too only on lanes for motorized traffic except for the lanes used by mass-transit. On the existing roads with walkways, the following variety of Sadak is possible depending upon the pavement width and bicycle traffic. Figure : Use of existing pavement Figure : Sadak with single-side frontage Marg A Marg is an Access Road by function. Pedestrian and non-motorized traffic shall have priority along these roads. Motorized traffic of only the local inhabitants shall be allowed with restriction to speed, sound, high beam and emission. In order to facilitate movement of emergency vehicles, on-street parking shall be disallowed. The width of pavement of Marg category of roads shall be between 6.0 m to 5.5 m without walkways, and up to 4.0 m if raised walkway of minimum width (1.5 m on one or both sides) exists. normal Marg narrow Marg Figure : Width of typical Marg category of roads Galli Historic Galli A Galli is a pedestrian priority Access Road of width less than 4.0 m. Only the bicycles and motorcycles of the local inhabitants shall be allowed to share the road pavement with the pedestrian with restriction on speed, sound and high beam. No on-street parking is allowed to facilitate any emergency movement. In case of gradient higher than 20%, Galli shall be provided with steps. Narrow inclined plane shall be added over the steps to facilitate towing of bicycles. Dedicated Access All dedicated accesses leading to a single building, whether private or public, fall under this category. The width of the accesses should be minimum 3 m. Except for mountable kerb at the start of dedicated accesses no modification to the adjoining road or walkway (e.g.: reduction in width, increase in cross-slope) shall be allowed.
