    This is a research project on pedestrian safety – both road safety and personal  security. It has recognised potential of tertiary networks as an alternative solution  in promoting pedestrian safety, bringing people away from traffic through  animated routes. It has adopted a systematic approach in understanding  pedestrian needs and behaviour, identifying mitigation methods and potential  challenges, such as conflicts between different street functions.  A toolkit consisting a framework, action objectives, application guidelines and  interventions are developed and tested against the literature review and casestudy  findings. The methodical application has allowed for a clear establishment  of tertiary network, linking key destinations, catering different users need. The  study area chosen is an office-dominant location. The sensitive site analysis  has introduced a site-specific approach, building on the distinctively different  character of the site during different days of week, proposing different  interventions and route enhancements for weekdays and weekends. During  weekdays, the key focus is on road safety, by introducing pedestrianisation on  streets with high pedestrian flow, and intersection managements that offer  safer crossing and movement through the site. During weekends, the emphasis  lies on personal security, which aims to retain and attract people to the area  through route animations, provision of gathering space and introduction of  activities. The application of toolkit has demonstrated its flexibility and ability  to be used across different type and scale of projects within dense metropolitan  areas.
