Manual for Streets

Manual for Streets 

Manual for Streets (MfS) replaces Design Bulletin 32, first published in 1977, and its companion guide Places, Streets and Movement.  In the past, the focus has been on the movement function of residential streets, which often resulted in places being dominated by motor vehicles to the extent that they fail to make a positive contribution to the quality of life. 

MfS demonstrates the benefits that flow from good design and assigns a higher priority to pedestrians and cyclists, setting out an approach to residential streets that recognises their role in creating places that work for all members of the community.  MfS refocuses on the place function of residential streets, giving clear guidance on how to achieve well-designed streets and spaces that serve the community in a range of ways.
