Walking audit

A walking audit is an assessment of the walkability or pedestrian access of an external environment. Walking audits are often undertaken in street environments to consider and promote the needs of pedestrians as a form of transport. They can be undertaken by a range of different stakeholders including:

  • Local community groups
  • Transport planners / engineers
  • Urban designers
  • Local police officers
  • Local politicians / councilors

Walking audits often collect both quantitative and qualitative data on the walking environment.

Similarly to a walking audit, a cycling audit or bicycle audit makes an assessment of the cyclability or cyclist access to an area. They may be performed by a bicycle user group, local government or other stakeholders.
