Walking is usually not considered as a transportation mode. This is because it does not employ vehicles or because it is the fundamental means of movement. But walking is most efficient and the most effective mode of transportation for the short trips. People walk for many purpose i.e. work, shopping, school, college and recreation etc. Usually every journey necessarily starts and ends as a walk trip. All trips in the urban areas, be it by bus, car or train begin and ends as a pedestrian movement. In India, the proportion of pedestrian movement is very large. Pedestrians are the most unsafe among road users and the most affected in urban traffic accident. Complete separation from vehicle through space may solve the problem of pedestrian's suffering in road traffic accidents. These can be achieved by using stairways, sidewalks or pedestrian bridges and subways i.e. foot over bridges and foot under bridges which is defined as pedestrian movement in vertical direction or at gradients.

Pedestrian, walking, sidewalk.
