Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) includes mainly walking, cycling, wheelchair travel and cycle rickshaws. All of them are active and green modes of transport. Non-motorized citizens are vital to sustainable living. The characteristics of sustainable transport are safe, convenient and efficient in terms of economic and energy use and minimise pollution of the atmosphere. It provides strategies to change the choice of transport modes by integrating land use and transport planning for road users of motor vehicles into non-motor vehicles. Today, transportation infrastructure in most cities are no longer feasible due to the scarcity of natural resources such as oil resources, an rise in the number of deaths and injuries caused by road crashes and traffic delays. In the view of vast number of short-distance journeys, the time lost in traffic jams, the higher cost of parking vehicles and the restrictions in central business districts, many commuters have noticed that non-motorized modes of transport provide feasible and economical transport alternatives. Thus Local governments should also promote and stimulate non-motorized modes of transportation. In return, municipalities must have safe facilities for all modes of travel, and drivers of motor vehicles must respact and coexist with pedestrians and cyclists who are the most vulnerable users of the transport infrastructure. Although current developments in sustainable transport tend to promote and stimulate non-motorized modes of transport that are socially more effective than motorised transport, little or no safety measures for disabled road users (VRUs) have been introduced, primarily in major urban centres. In South Asia, India, as a developing country, has mixed traffic, i.e. a traffic flow consisting of all categories of vehicles, such as cycle, rickshaw, auto, bus, etc. To improve non-motorized transport and reduce motor vehicle travel by developing pedestrian paths and cycling zone. The use of non-motorized travel, such as cycling and walking, is not only a cut in carbon dioxide, but also a safe lifestyle and physical activity. The effect of non-motorized transport on the intersection capability and stretches of the road between intersections has been significant. But, as per studies, the percentage of motorcycles and other non-motorized vehicles is slightly smaller than that of motorized vehicles. However, traffic parameters such as flow, speed and density are heavily influenced by the presence of non-motorized vehicles. Hence for urban mixed Indian traffic the consideration of the effect of non-motorized vehicles is highly essential for designing and planning of roads for Non- Motorized Transport (NMT).In order to design a roads for non-motorized transport (NMT) it is important to consider the behaviour of the traffic flow. But it is very difficult to understand the behaviour of a traffic stream of mixed traffic. The aim of the study is to improve the road conditions in Narsinghpur District. Two regions of Narsinghpur city where the movement of Non-Motorized Vehicles (NMV) is more are chosen for study. The research was performed on the experience of non-motorized users of safety, visibility, crossing, comfort, convenience. The study was carried out by asking non-motorized users for inquries and their view was gathered as data, and in MS Excel the research was wiped out. Further, the value of the Bicycle Compatibility Index (BCI) is found using the Inverse Variance Method. With the assistance of BCI, each road Level of Service (LOS) is understood. Further, the improvements measures with suggestions are discussed during this paper for correct planning and designing of roads for Non- Motorized Transport (NMT).
