3. Guidelines and standards
3.1. IRC
The Indian roads congress (IRC) has stipulated standards for pedestrian facilities – both at-grade and grade-separated (Indian roads congress, 1998). But these lack the “human” element like aesthetics, scale, form and proportion. Pedestrian amenities and street furniture do not find a place in these standards. Context-specific standards according to the location in the city, hierarchy of streets and functions of streets have not been thought of.
