Placemaking
Enhancing Streets & Places With Expert Traffic Engineering
StudioWAY has a passion for collaborating with landscape architects and urban designers to deliver vibrant, functional, and people-friendly streets and public spaces. Our traffic and transport planning expertise ensures that great placemaking outcomes are supported by safe, efficient, and sustainable mobility solutions.
Our Placemaking Traffic Services
1. Traffic & Transport Assessments
We analyse current and projected movement patterns to ensure streets and public spaces function effectively. For example, making sure pedestrian crossings are placed at the right locations. We also carry out parking studies to assist in justifying the removal of public parking to allow for repurposing to improved streetscape outcomes.
2. Active Transport & Accessibility Planning
We design streets that prioritise pedestrian, cycling, and public transport accessibility while reducing car dependency.
3. Street & Intersection Design
We create traffic solutions that enhance safety, minimise congestion, and complement placemaking goals. We know how to avoid traffic ‘overdesign’ to reduce hard-paved surfacing and create more opportunities for pedestrian, bicycle and landscape areas.
4. Parking & Loading Strategies
We optimise parking layouts and loading zones to support businesses, residents, and visitors without compromising urban design integrity.
