Hi Kanthi

Here are some quick comments based on a superficial reading:

1. 4(b): "Situations that may merit deviation from standards include
insufficient ROW" - sounds dangerous as it will be invoked far too often!
2. What is Section 12 doing here since its objective is smooth vehicular
flow rather than pedestrian facilities!?
3. Section 14: Talks of money but money for "urban transportation" which
means it will typically be used to build more roads. It needs to be more
specific about usage of the money for pedestrian facilities.
4. There seems to be nothing about pedestrian crossings, pedestrian signals,
zebras, raised crossings, speed limits etc.
