Abstract

In a suburban community a six lane road is built. It has businesses on both sides of the street, driveways, and bus stops. Students often walk along the shoulder to get to school, restaurants, and nearby shops. Along the edge of the road, footprints in the grass leave dirt paths. For pedestrians it is dangerous, inaccessible, and uncomfortable to walk along this roadway—they need a sidewalk.
