- A Design Principle where transportation networks are designed to enable safe, convenient and comfortable travel and access for users of all ages and abilities regardless of their mode of transportation
- Complete Streets allow for safe travel by those walking, cycling, driving automobiles, or riding public transportation
- Improves Accessibility
- An example would have:
- Sidewalks
- Bike Lanes
- Standard Roads
- Protected Intersections
- Perhaps enhanced road managment (high occupancy lanes, bus lanes, etc)
