Maintain good walking routes
Difficult and poorly marked walking routes can be a major disincentive to walking. Find out here how to ensure walking routes both on and off-site meet the needs of the people who use them.
Footpaths
Footpaths to and on your site should be direct, well-lit and well-maintained. This includes footpath links to and from bus stops and railway stations.
Badly parked vehicles
Parking on pavements and at dropped kerbs should be prevented and standard parking rules enforced effectively.
Signposting
Signs for pedestrians should be clear. Routes should avoid the need to cross busy main roads or congested areas of your site.
Improving walking routes
Talk to your local planning authority about improving the routes that your staff uses, and to the local authority access officer. Local police safety officers and your own staff could also provide ideas as to how pedestrian routes to your site could be improved.
