What to look for
These are the kinds of issues worth marking in the route audit tool.
Missing sidewalks
Blocks where the sidewalk simply ends, forcing walkers into the street.
Fast traffic
Streets where typical speeds are well above what the design suggests.
Confusing signals
Signals and crosswalks that don't clearly tell people on foot or bike when it's their turn.
Bike route gaps
Places where an otherwise okay route suddenly forces a stressful merge or turn.
School arrival/dismissal issues
Queues, double-parking, and crossings that don't feel safe at the busiest moment of the day.
Poor visibility or difficult turns
Hedges, parked cars, and angles that hide people from drivers.
