The increase in population has contributed to a rise in the demand of vehicles, which has raised the number of vehicle accidents. Thus, in India, traffic accidents rate among the world's leading causes of mortality. The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways reports that there will be 11.9% more road accidents in 2022 than there were in 2021. Although roads and junctions are constructed with vehicular traffic in mind, pedestrian traffic is ignored. One obvious example of a sustainable form of transportation is walking. The utilization of non-motorized modes of transportation and enhancing streets through appropriate, inclusive, visionary city planning are highlighted in the National Urban Transport Policy of 2006. Surat Municipal Corporation is working to provide non-motorized transport amenities, including as bike lanes and walkways, in Surat city together with other transportation infrastructure. Street for people challenge inspire cities to create walking-friendly street through quick measure, in response to COVID-19 This study area of work includes data gathering on pedestrian behavior, accident analysis, infrastructure evaluation, driver compliance, and safety awareness. The research will identify problem areas, propose solutions, and produce a complete pedestrian safety plan for the selected area. However, these are not being used efficiently because of a lack of administrative skills and public awareness. The research focuses on important metropolitan roads in Surat and applies a non-motorized transportation approach to intersection planning and redesign.
