Complete streets are roads and streets designed and operated to provide safe access for all users, including motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit riders. Complete streets enable users of all ages, and all physical abilities to safely move along and cross an urban street. This course presents in detail elements of design for complete streets such as intersection design guidelines, modern roundabouts, pedestrian treatments, and bicycle lane guidelines. Each element will be described in terms of the general principles, design considerations, and recommended practice. A variety of case studies will be presented.

• Define complete streets and describe their relevance, benefits, and importance
• Describe the numerous factors that must be taken into consideration before the design and implementation of a complete streets project
• Identify specific elements that are incorporated into the design of a complete streets facility
• Identify treatments that address specific components of a complete streets facility
• Describe the process of implementing complete streets projects upon completion of design
