The following analysis attempts to explore the following research question: What surface design most effectively reduces user conflict, increases functional active mobility, and encourages user safety on shared use paths? The research question will be answered by 1) exploring different design methods for creating shared use paths that contribute to the goals state in the question via a literature review; 2) attempting to define the culture that surrounds these spaces and a brief investigation of how this culture might be changed/improved; and 3) offering a design solution to spaces experiencing user conflict and travel experience.
