Pedestrian-friendly

Roads can be made more pedestrian-friendly by measures such as:

no other traffic allowed; poles may prevent cars from entering (car-free zone, also called pedestrianised street)
low speed limit for other traffic, possibly combined with priority for pedestrians over other traffic (living street)
wide sidewalks (pavements)
pedestrian crossings, especially with priority for pedestrians
restrictions on advertising material cluttering shopping streets
a partial or full roof to protect from precipitation.
roller skating and skateboarding not allowed
pavement cafés leave enough room for walking
in hot regions: sufficient shade
