Street Design Guidelines: Case of Patiala City
1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE Streets are lifeline for communities and basis of urban economy. These account more than 80% of all urban open public spaces (NACTO, 2012). Streets help in promoting business, provide people with safe place and sense of belongingness whether it is walking, cycling, driving and transit. Thus, all this vitality of urban life leads to sensitive and multi-faceted role of urban streets. Intangible qualities such as image-ability, human-scale, transparency and visual enclosure adds up to the quality to promote street activities. In the current scenario, urban street development in India calls for an urgent need to– •
Equitable distribution of road space for various users.
•
Ensure legibility of urban areas through adequate signage and other design principles.
•
Ensure safety and security to commuters both physically and mentally.
•
Improve micro-climate along with visual quality and imageability.
•
Improve street by creating a safe, sustainable, resilient and comfortable environment.
1.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVE Derive urban street design guideline for selected street typologies based on their character to improve mobility in the city and enhance user experience with special attention towards nonmotorised transport facility. To fulfil my aim, these are the list of objectives, •
To identify critical stretches across city based on road typology and secondary data.
•
To study the travel characteristics and abutting land-use of the identified stretches.
•
To prepare policy guidelines and layout for various hierarchy of roads.
•
To suggest design intervention for selected critical stretch of the city.
1.3 SCOPE AND LIMITATION The scope of the thesis is, •
All proposal will be city-specific.
•
To propose generic street section and plan based on land uses and road hierarchy.
•
To give proposals for intervention of street networks based on traffic volume count, land use, public need and activity pattern.
•
To provide better provision for non-motorized transport infrastructure. 1
Street Design Guidelines: Case of Patiala City The limitations of the thesis is, •

Street Design Guidelines: Case of Patiala City
2 STUDY AREA Patiala is the fourth largest city located in the south-eastern part of Patiala. In 1956, it joined the state of Punjab from erstwhile princely state. Located at distance of 233 km from national capital and 67 km from state capital. It is well connected to other important cities by state and national highway. Culturally the city is famous for Patiala suit, jutti, shahi turban and peg. The location of Patiala is shown in Figure 1.

2.2 TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT NETWORK The city shows a wide variety of carriage way ranging from 4.0 m to 21.95 m, measuring a total of 89.09 km of road length. The present traffic condition shows that a few road has high Volume/Capacity (V/C) ratio with a huge shortage of parking facility. There is an urgent need to address upon the quality of street and parking demand to avoid congestion. People from near-by village travel to Patiala for work. The modal share reflects more than 1/3rd of total trips being completed by motorized two wheeler (M2W), while 46% are completed by non-motorized means of transit. 3-seater or 7-seater auto rickshaw serve as major means of intermediate public transit (IPT) (Master Plan LPA Patiala, 2011).
2.3 SELECTION OF STRETCHES Based on secondary data, such as traffic volume count (TVC) and land use, a list of major stretches of Patiala was prepared. Further through visual reconnaissance, public discussions and stakeholder consultation with Senior Town Planner Mrs. Mandeep Kaur, the study area was demarcated in the form of selected streets as shown in Figure 3.

3 LITERATURE REVIEW 3.1 LITERATURE STUDY 3.1.1 Street Hierarchy Street hierarchy was introduced to segregate streets based on functions and needs as pedestrian streets in the bottom while fast moving roads on the top. This concept demands attention towards the space required for different activities. The present approach allows all set of users such as, pedestrians, bicyclist, cars, etc. It has now became important to understand the need and character of the surrounding. It can be the case that, streets with similar ROW has different function and land-use, thus, has different design requirement. As per IRC-86:1983, street hierarchy is been divided in four category along with design speed, and is given in Table 1. Table 1 Right of way and design speed based on road typology

3.1.2 Passenger Car Unit Urban roads are characterised by mixed traffic conditions, resulting in complex interaction between various kinds of vehicle. So, there is a need to express it in common terms, which is termed as “Passenger car unit� (PCU). Passenger car is considered as reference with its value=1. Table 2 shows the recommended PCU factor adopted by various vehicle types as mentioned in IRC-106:1990. Table 2 Recommended PCU factor for various vehicle types
Vehicle Type Bicycle Two Wheeler (Motor cycle, scooter) Passenger Car, Pick-up Van(4W) Auto-Rickshaw/Tri-seater Rickshaw(TSR) Cycle-Rickshaw Light Commercial Vehicle Bus/ Truck/ Heavy Commercial Vehicle

Understanding the need of smoother traffic movement, it is always recommended that Level of Service (LOS) C should be adopted for design of urban roads which is considered as 0.70 of 5
Street Design Guidelines: Case of Patiala City maximum capacity. This gives us exact freedom to manoeuvre and even small increase in traffic flow won’t affect that traffic flow as well as control the infrastructure cost. Design service volume for various road categories as referred in IRC-106:1990 is given in Table 3. Table 3 Recommended design service volume

3.1.3 Level of Service (LOS) LOS is defined as the ratio of total PCU of vehicular flow upon recommended design service volume. It is defined as a qualitative measure describing the operational conditions such as travel time speed, interruption, comfort, convenience and safety. Highway capacity manual has defined six LOS of a mid-block section designated from A to F as given in Table 4. Table 4 Level of service

4.4 FINDINGS Patiala is fourth largest city in Punjab and is the administrative headquarter of Patiala district. Government offices and institutional building can be easily identified along the arterial roads where as hospital and mixed-use development can be seen in sub-arterial and collector roads.

Street Design Guidelines: Case of Patiala City 2/3rd of the total sample collected was of working population i.e. aged between 25 and 60. The preferred mode choice cane to be motorized two-wheeler and four-wheeler while a strong connection with non-motorised mode can also be inferred. Of 212 sample survey, about 60% of the trip accounts to less than 2.5 kms, thus, can be easily bicycled. A total of 245 fatal injury and deaths were registered in 230 fatal cases between 2013 and 2016. Motorized four wheeler (M4W) being the major source while M2W and pedestrian being the major victims. (TRIPP, 2018). Area near Gurudwara Dukhniwaran Sahib, Fountain Chowk, and bus stand were the major accident prone area. The major causes of accident was found to be drink and drive as well as over-speeding. The survey reflects traffic congestion and road safety as three important issues in city which is a result of no/poor NMT infrastructure and inadequacy of vehicular parking space. The commuters are quite satisfied with the numbers and performance of IPT in the city but it accounts to only 14% of the total trip conducted, which is a result of high travel cost and lacks to reach the inner area of the city. As a result, there is a strong need to improve pedestrian infrastructure facility, provision for NMT infrastructure along with channelized on-street parking facility. Signage, street markings and landscape feature together with barrier free design intervention must be considered.
5 PROPOSALS 5.1 GUIDELINES As Patiala is an administrative city and has high share of short trips as well as private motorised modal share, the street design guideline aims to improve modal share by providing safe, sufficient, comfortable and convenient NMT infrastructure. The guideline has been prepared for all set of potential users to provide tools and strategies, thereby reinstating vibrant urban public realm. It consider the adjoining land use and amenities for pedestrians and cyclists in addition to movement of vehicles, ensuring an equitable distribution of road space across all stakeholders. Thus, designing and developing street for safety of all road users. This will help decision maker in improving of existing urban transport scenario and its development in medium-sized cities of India.

Street Design Guidelines: Case of Patiala City
5.1.1 Classification of Streets The streets have been classified based of traffic pattern, vehicular speed, function as well as road width. It includes arterial (more than 24 m), sub-arterial (15 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 24 m), collector (10 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 15 m) and local or access road (less than 10 m). This proposed street classification is Patialaspecific as streets may have similar ROW but different land use and overall design requirement.
5.1.2 Footpath The width of footpath is determined based on street classification, land use, ROW and pedestrian traffic and should have universal accessible design feature. It is recommended that footpath be designed as per IRC 103:2012. Footpath should have a clear walking zone of 1.8 m with 2.4 m of vertical clearance along with dead zone and multi-utility zone. In special case, it can be reduced to 1.5 m. Tough and anti-skit pavers should be used for construction along with barrier free design features. It should have a uniform height of 150 - 250 mm above the road level.
5.1.3 Cycle Track Cycle track is an essential feature for the safety of cyclist from fast-moving vehicles, even infrastructure will promote use of bicycles. An unobstructed clear width of 2.0 m for one-way and 3.0 m for two-way should be provided along with vertical clearance of 2.4 m. It is recommended that bicycle infrastructure must be designed as per IRC 11:2015. It is always preferred to segregate cycle track with plantation/ verge or parking lane. In special cases it can be reduced to 1.5 m for one-lane and 2.4 m for two lane, while, combined footpath and cycle track should not be, in any case less than 3.5 m. It is preferred that cycle track should at a level of 100 mm above the carriage way or separated by kerb in case of at grade track. In similar fashion, other street elements such as carriage way, parking, pedestrian crossing, traffic calming measures, street light, street furniture, MUZ and a few others have been discussed.
5.2 ACTION AREA For action area development, the study involved selection of 5 out of 16 stretches this has been studied. One of the example for Sangrur Road is illustrated below, while other cases were worked upon in similar manner.

5.3 TEMPLATES Residential, commercial and public semi-public land use has been identified as major land uses in the survey. Thus, a few generic templates has be attached for based on various ROW and land use as a reference. Streets with varying ROW and ROW that are not given in templates, should be designed referring the template of smaller ROW. One of the street section and plan is shown below as a reference, while other cases were worked upon in similar manner.
