• The proper articulation of this detail of site planning is
important, since insufficient transition areas between roads, buildings, walks, walls, steps, or trees will contribute to physical and visual crowding of the site. It should consider the convenience of the user so it must be simple. 4/43 MOVEMENT SYSTEMS
• Circulation systems are important to any and every site
development project.
5/43 MOVEMENT SYSTEMS
• One of the primary structuring
elements of a land use plan is the vehicular circulation system.
• It forms the hierarchy of flow and
change of scale from major to minor roads within a site or project and connects with off- site networks that bring people and goods to the site.
6/43 MOVEMENT SYSTEMS
• Circulation patterns involve the approach, drop off,
parking, and service in an organized sequence.
7/43 MOVEMENT SYSTEMS
• The study of vehicular and pedestrian circulation must
involve peak loads, public vehicular access and stops, service access, and traffic generators.
8/43 MOVEMENT SYSTEMS
• It must also involve the study of spaces for the disabled.
Access and areas for wheelchairs and people who use canes and other implements must be considered in any development.
9/43 THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS VEHICULAR CIRCULATION PATTERNS alignment of roads should closely follow the topography of the site users and mode of transportation should be considered
• size of the road
• radius of turns • type of approach
10/43 THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS VEHICULAR CIRCULATION PATTERNS ROAD LAYOUTS 1. Grid System - generally used on flat or gently rolling land - usually made up of streets equally spaced running perpendicular to each other
Negative: - visual monotony - disregard of topography - vulnerability to through traffic

12/43 THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS VEHICULAR CIRCULATION PATTERNS ROAD LAYOUTS 1. Grid System
13/43 THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS VEHICULAR CIRCULATION PATTERNS ROAD LAYOUTS 2. Radial System - directs flow to a common center or focus - may not be as flexible as the grid system - additional rings may be injected to allow for the bypassing of movement
14/43 THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS VEHICULAR CIRCULATION PATTERNS ROAD LAYOUTS 3. Linear System - straightforward and connects 2 points in a line, with buildings on either side of the road - may use loops on either side of the road to divert traffic from the main road - used along freight railroads, canals, and trolley car lines - lack of focus and overloading of the channel
15/43 THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS VEHICULAR CIRCULATION PATTERNS ROAD LAYOUTS 4. Curvilinear System - follows the topography of the land closely - fewer streets compared to the grid system - cul-de-sacs are usually used
16/43 MOVEMENT SYSTEMS
• The National Building Code (NBC) gives provisions for
exterior circulation systems consisting of arcades and sidewalks, as well as provisions for interior circulation systems such as corridors, stairwells, elevators, etc.
17/43 MOVEMENT SYSTEMS
• Circulation systems are supposed to be designed such that
pedestrian and vehicular movements are properly interfaced.
18/43 THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS VEHICULAR CIRCULATION PATTERNS STREET TYPES 1. Minor Streets - fronted by low-intensity uses - integration of road with land is emphasized - speed of movement is de-emphasized 2. Collector Streets
- fronted by small-scale activities, and moderate intensity uses
- provide movement between major and minor roads - catches/collects trips from the minor streets
3. Major Streets - built for heavy traffic flow, with intersections at longer intervals
Distributors - continuous over long distances, allowing for high speed vehicular traffic - no access along their frontages 19/43 - carry vehicles bound to/from distant origins/destinations from the access roads THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS VEHICULAR CIRCULATION PATTERNS STREET TYPES

Drainage of the Parking Area f.Angle of Parking - 90˚, 60˚ and 45˚ (usually determined by the width of the land area) .g. Width of the Parking space; Handicapped Parking must be considered

33/43 THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION PATTERNS
• safety - is there a buffer between you
and vehicular traffic? •security - do you feel at ease? •convenience - does it provide good access to your destination? •coherence - is there continuity between pathways? •comfort - do you feel shaded from climate? •aesthetics - do you wish to leave the path immediately or tend to wander?

36/43 THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION PATTERNS . A longer walk may be used if there are points of interest along the path.
37/43 THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION PATTERNS The walks or pathways are usually fit to the topography of the site, and by making use of the aesthetic qualities inherent or improved in the site, an aesthetically pleasing walk may be designed.
38/43 THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION PATTERNS
Factors to consider: • hierarchy to assist in distribution
• alignment of the walks • spatial sequence along a walk • texture, color, and type of paving material
39/43 THE SITE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION PATTERNS
To assist in the distribution of the various volumes of
pedestrians to their destinations, walks are created with a hierarchy in mind. Bigger walks lead to locations pedestrians access more frequently.

qualities inherent or improved in the site - arch steve hermann, house in california, $24m for sale
