Question juridique clé
Whether the sidewalk crossing in the junction area is an appropriate measure to favor pedestrians and protect weaker road users.
Solution extraite
Yes. The continuous sidewalk design gives pedestrians priority over motor traffic and is suitable, especially because it improves comfort for pedestrians, including persons with disabilities, and encourages turning vehicles to slow down.
Motifs extraits
Road planning and construction must take traffic safety into account and protect weaker road users. A sidewalk crossing at the junction gives pedestrians right of way and promotes safe, slower vehicle turning.
