Abstract

The article critically examines the suitability of building foot-over bridges and the need for a change in
the pedestrians’ mindset towards safety. Footbridges can also be built in the same ways as road or rail bridges.
Particularly suspension bridges and beam bridges. Some former road bridges have had their traffic diverted to
alternative crossings and have become pedestrian bridges. Transportation network has become nerve of any city. The
paradox here is that though meant for human travel, these roads hardly provide any quality space for those who are
without vehicles (well known as pedestrian). Due to the ambiguous position of non-motorized. There is a requirement
of combining traffic issues with pedestrian in a comprehensive manner and will make it an important part of road
design. Preservation of nature, opportunities for cultural interface, a resource conserving environment with workable
public transit and more occasions for walking should be prime objectives of urban planners.
I have to select Mehsana City for project. At two junction Modhera and Radhanpur cross road, There is an extremely
Traffic volume.
