General Guidance Resources
OVERVIEW This toolbox presents guidance for local agency staff, transportation practitioners, elected officials and community advocates to improve the walkability of Fuquay-Varina and create more comfortable streets for pedestrians of all ages and abilities. Planners and project designers should refer to these guidelines in developing the infrastructure projects recommended by this plan, but they should not be used as the sole reference for any detailed engineering design. As a starting point, the following list of resources are from the NCDOT website, for “Bicycle & Pedestrian Project Development & Design Guidance”, located here (resources listed are linked through this page; Last retrieved in December 2021): https://connect.ncdot.gov/projects/BikePed/Pages/Guidance.aspx
