As a developing State, mixed flow of the Ahmadabad urban road traffic is most obvious characteristic atpedestrian crossing where conflicts between the pedestrians and motor vehicle occur frequently.

To check theadequacy of pedestrian facilities, pedestrian surveys is to be done and also check the Level of service of the existingpedestrian facilities are evaluated for the existing condition as per the guideline of HCM 2000 and feasibility study isdone by T-test method. Guidelines of pedestrian facility IRC 103:2012 and suggestion is given with design required forthe pedestrian skywalk. For this study there are a number of places in Ahmadabad which is suffering from heavy traffic.Among them “Kalupur Railway Station” is the study area which is facing the problems. So by providing a skywalkmovement will be smooth, safely and have comfortable journey for the pedestrian
