SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Street networks often fail to balance safety, accessibility, and multi-modal mobility. This skill provides comprehensive guidance to design complete street cross-sections, sequencing, and intersection layouts aligned with global standards (NACTO, GDCI, AASHTO) and context-sensitive typologies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Design cross-sections from building face to centerline, layer by layer, including pedestrian clear zones, furnishing zones, cycle tracks, parking, travel lanes, and medians.
  • Apply street typology guidance (Boulevard, Avenue, Main Street, Neighborhood Street, Shared Street, and more) to urban and suburban corridors with ADA and stormwater integration.
  • Generate complete street specification packages, including cross-section templates, intersection treatments, streetscape materials, lighting, and green infrastructure.

Quick Start

Create a street cross-section for an urban collector street with 26m ROW in a commercial district.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design a complete street cross-section for an urban corridor?

Complete street cross-sections are generated by layering zones from building face to centerline, including pedestrian clear zones, cycle tracks, parking, and travel lanes. The design enforces ADA accessibility, protected bike lanes, and context-sensitive typologies.

What is the best way to apply traffic calming strategies to neighborhood streets?

Traffic calming strategies for neighborhood streets are applied using context-sensitive design typologies like Shared Street and Neighborhood Street. This approach minimizes curb radii and integrates stormwater management to meet safety and livability goals.

Can I use NACTO guidelines to generate intersection design guidance for transit-oriented streets?

Yes, NACTO guidelines are applied to generate intersection design guidance for transit-oriented streets. The process covers intersection treatments, minimized curb radii, and protected bike lanes to ensure safe multi-modal mobility.

Does complete street design support stormwater integration and green infrastructure?

Complete street design supports stormwater integration by incorporating green infrastructure into the furnishing zone and streetscape materials. Specification packages include stormwater management strategies aligned with GDCI and NACTO standards.

How do I create a street specification package for a mixed-use commercial district?

Create a street specification package by generating cross-section templates, intersection treatments, streetscape materials, and lighting plans. Apply context-sensitive typologies like Main Street for mixed-use commercial corridors to ensure ADA compliance.

When should I use Boulevard versus Avenue street typologies for urban design?

Use Boulevard typologies for wider urban corridors requiring medians and higher traffic capacity, while Avenue typologies suit mixed-use corridors with balanced multi-modal mobility. Both apply NACTO standards for cross-section layering and traffic calming.
