noncarriageways
Noncarriageways refer to areas within a road network that are not designated for the movement of vehicles. These areas are typically used for pedestrian activities, landscaping, or other non-vehicular purposes. They can be found in various forms, such as sidewalks, footpaths, cycle paths, and green spaces. Noncarriageways play a crucial role in urban planning and transportation systems, as they provide safe and convenient routes for pedestrians and cyclists, and contribute to the overall aesthetic and environmental quality of urban areas. They also help to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality by encouraging non-motorized transportation. The design and maintenance of noncarriageways are essential for creating functional, sustainable, and livable urban environments.
