Walking

Walking is a convenient, sustainable and healthy way of travelling for short trips. The NSW Government wants to double the number of walking (and cycling) trips in the next 20 years, so that walking and cycling are the preferred modes of transport for short trips, and a viable, safe and efficient option for longer trips. Walking is also a great way to start and end a public transport journey.

The actions set out in the NSW Active Transport Strategy will deliver walking improvements such as prioritising walking trips in centres, towns and villages by reallocating road space to widen footpaths and providing more frequent and longer duration pedestrian crossing phases at traffic signals.
