Q3 a) by studying places where streets have been successfully transformed to prioritise pedestrians, we can use data such as the average speed of vehicles, types of pedestrians (children, senior, handicapped), time vs. intensity of traffic use, the destinations/distributions of vehicles that use this road, etc. to better plan safer interactions between motorcars and pedestrians.
