Public space emerges that prevents parking on the road due to recordable heavy snow and can walk safely

In Japan, there are areas that record historic snowfall and observe one meter of snowfall overnight. The logistics stops due to the residual snow, the snow which I lost is quite difficult, but with recordable heavy snow occurring in Philadelphia in the US, safe walking space and traffic control on the road which was usually a parking area Space appears. Although it was made naturally, in fact the parking prevention area, the guardrail, the street etcPublic spacePrecise pictures that will be helpful for making a picture are summarized.

The place where the car runs can be seen in the shape of a square, but the road can be seen, but the snow near the sidewalk remains at a right angle, so a public space where a passerby can walk safely appears. A green line is drawn on the photo so that you can see the boundary between the road and the public space.


Public space created at the corner of the sidewalk. Effective for crossing the slippery snowy road because the pedestrian crossing is short. Safety is increasing because pedestrians can be seen well from cars.


Many triangular shaped public spaces appeared depending on the route the car travels. It is a dangerous curve point if there is no snow, but it also serves as a marker for cars and it is possible to pass smoothly. There are times when we build a guardrail in such a place for traffic improvement, but if you refer to the rut of snow accumulation, it may be possible to set it in the right position.


Even small triangular spaces can organize the running of the car and the snow piled on the sidewalk side keep pedestrians from danger.


At the intersection in front of the red building you can see that it is possible to create such a large space by the appearance of snow. In this state, the shop located at the corner of the intersection will be able to operate safely.


The corner of the intersection where there is likely to be one more lane is usually made public space by snow and the sidewalk is also wider.


Two one-way streets make rectangular narrow and narrow public spaces. Even if you set a curb along the green line and make it a sidewalk, you can see that there is no hindrance to the traffic of the car.


An example where a huge passerby space was created by a combination of the parking vehicle and the traveling route originally. I could walk slowly and with peace.


A place where a public space appeared in X shape. The space in front is usually a road, but it is a sight unique to the snow.


The snowy road is easy to slip even if you are wearing a chain, but a safe snow median strip emerges even if you are stuck in the middle of the road.


For public spaces that appeared in Philadelphia in large quantities, the number of sidewalks that can be walked safely for pedestrians has increased, and for drivers, it is easy to ascertain "Where you can run without running" and you can easily "check pedestrians easily" Because no benefit was gained by any residents, no complaints have been issued, and it is said that they are more effective than parking prevention bars established by public institutions. In Japan, serious problems such as disruption of logistics due to snow have occurred, but it was a rare example where benefits were born due to snow, which is very helpful for actually making public spaces.
