Walking is the main way people experience the city and connect with each other.
As part of our Transport StrategyOpens in new tab, we are committed to creating an enjoyable and safe walking environment for residents, workers and visitors.
Our Walking Plan 2014–17Opens in new tab looks at the many ways walking contributes to the city and how Melbourne’s walking network could be improved.

We are:
- reallocating traffic lanes to pedestrian space, including at intersections and slip lanes
- reducing crossing distances and seeking to provide
- pedestrian crossings on all legs of an intersection
- narrowing traffic lanes and introducing traffic calming
- removing kerbs where appropriate to create level streets and shared zones
- reallocating on-street parking to people space
- converting central city 'Little streets' into pedestrian-priority zones
- converting roundabouts to conventional intersections which are easier to navigate for people walking
- minimising new footpath crossovers (driveways) and making the most of existing ones
