Walking and bicycling are a cheap mode of transport which is not only promoting health effects on people but reduce the negative impacts on environment and also save time. This study was conducted to investigate the pedestrian facilities at Mehran University of Engineering & Technology (MUET), Jamshoro, Pakistan and to develop the model of a suitable pedestrian facility network for the study area. In this study, data were collected by using questionnaire survey method (Average Index Model), content analysis, detailed land use study, traffic count survey and pedestrian count survey.
