Integrate Naked Street principles, such as minimal use of traffic signs, road markings and other traffic management features. This encourages automobile drivers to recognize the street ROW as different from a typical road, and to react by driving more slowly and responding directly to the behavior of other users, including other automobile drivers, rather than predominantly to the traffic management features.

Design streets with level surfaces such that the street surface is not physically divided by curbs or level differences into areas for particular uses.

Design streets to accommodate the right mix of traffic volumes and traffic speeds (20 mph being the maximum upper threshold) to mitigate impacts to the free flow of pedestrians.

Locate streets where there is a historical precedence, traditional community patterns, and where there is a need or willingness for the automobile driver to share the road.

Maximize space for medians, especially side medians, to allow space for canopy trees, street lighting, bus stops with seating/shelters, and pedestrian refuge. Prioritize space for medians over sidewalks. Ideally, central and side medians should be 10 inches to 30 inches wide to allow for trees, shrubs, etc.

Design the side access roads for 10-20 mph with a 7-foot wide street parking lane and a 9- to 10-foot wide shared vehicle and bike travel lane. The travel lane width of the access road must be narrower than the through travel lane.

Design the central roadway with through lanes operating at traffic between 30-45 mph and with through travel lanes that are 10 feet to 11 feet wide.
