Vehicles take more open space

Figure 2.7.1HSCER values and number of people in survey areas 1 to 6.

WHAT WE FOUND

Of the 1,185 people we recorded, 51 (4.3%) were on micro-mobility. Areas 1, 4, 5 and 6 hold 48 of the 51, along the edges where vehicles park on the road and pavement. Areas 2 and 3 carry 625 pedestrians and only 3 micro-mobility users.

The idea does not hold across the area. Micro-mobility is a minor presence, and the busiest areas are the least conflicted. The one pressure point is Area 6, where about one in six users is on micro-mobility.
