Abstract
Walking is increasingly gaining
importanceand it is one of the oldest modes of
transport between places.Every one prefers to walk as
some part of every trip. However, walking has
generally received little attention while planning,
designing, and developing commercial areas in cities.
Pedestrian movement is considered to be one of the
important factors in urban planning and movement
pattern of transportation system. Due to increase in
number of vehicles in the CBD, the pedestrian
movement has greatly affected the lifestyle of the
people. While, pedestrian have significant role to
economic boom, vitality and freshness of CBD area,
that are faced to reduce pedestrian volume compared
to vehicle volume which has increased. Besides, it is
