Crossing Obstacles: Arterials, Railways, and Overpasses

A connection that crosses a traffic barrier. The waterfront and the city are separated by a six-lane coastal expressway or a railway. The solution is a wide, green-covered skybridge or a covered platform section, over thirty meters wide, with continuous green space and walkways on top, so that one barely feels like they are crossing a bridge. Alternatively, the main road could be lowered to connect the ground level. Avoid: solving the problem with a narrow pedestrian bridge, requiring pedestrians to take a long detour or wait for traffic lights to cross, making the crossing structure an exposed steel bridge, or ignoring the barrier, thus physically disconnecting the waterfront from the city.

一處跨越交通障礙的連接。水岸與城市之間隔著一條六線的濱海快速道路或一道鐵路;解法是一座寬大的綠覆天橋或一段加蓋的平台,寬度超過三十米,上面是連續的綠地與步道,走過去時幾乎不覺得是在過橋。或者相反,把幹道下壓、讓地面層連通。避免:用一座窄的人行天橋解決、讓行人必須繞遠路或等紅燈穿越、把跨越的構造做成裸露的鋼構橋、忽略障礙讓水岸與城市實質斷開。
