Share the Road: Design for Walking and Cycling

This report outlines the role of non-motorised transport in improving urban mobility in African cities. It presents the Share the Road initiative as promoting interventions that improve conditions for people who walk and cycle. The document describes a comprehensive approach involving greater allocation of urban space to pedestrians and cyclists, reductions in vehicle speeds, and compact, mixed land use. It identifies four broad objectives for a non-motorised transport policy: improving the safety, attractiveness and convenience of sustainable transport modes; promoting cleaner, healthier and more inclusive mobility; integrating non-motorised transport facilities with public transport as key components; and increasing accessibility across urban areas for all users.
