The transportation architecture can incorporate walking and biking paths through various means:
1. Dedicated bike lanes: All new roads and highways can be designed to include dedicated bike lanes to ensure the safety and comfort of bicyclists.
2. Sidewalks: A comprehensive network of sidewalks can be built alongside roads to provide safe walking paths.
3. Multi-use paths: Dedicated paths for walkers, joggers, and bikers can be incorporated in the transportation infrastructure to provide them with segregated space.
4. Bike sharing programs: Providing bike-sharing programs at various locations such as train stations and bus terminals can encourage more people to choose biking over driving.
5. Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridges: Pedestrian and bicycle bridges can be built over major highways to provide safe crossings and prevent accidents.
6. Pedestrian plazas: Removing vehicular traffic from designated areas and converting them into pedestrian plazas can encourage more walking and provide people with safe walking paths.
Incorporating walking and biking paths in the transportation architecture can help to promote healthy living, reduce traffic congestion, and decrease carbon emissions.
