Integrated Public Transport Strategy - Worcestershire County Council

The urban centre has the highest level of pedestrian movement and it is here that the
pedestrian should be given highest priority, although the free movement and access of
delivery vehicles within the centre should be maintained in order to support the vitality of
the centre. At the lower level of the pedestrian road hierarchy (e.g. on the Motorway)
freight and other vehicles must be given priority but not at the detriment of severance to
pedestrians and it is important that access is maintained for pedestrians on a level route
across, over or below the road where appropriate.

Many other journeys and issues surrounding walking are also being considered through
alternative schemes and strategies as indicated in Figure 5.1.
