The article represents North American practices of sustanable transportation modes prevalence, including pedestrian and bycicle travel choices. This publication also adduces the definition of “Complete Streets”, describes the structure of Multimodal Transportation Corridors, discloses the streetscaping advantages and environmental improuvements, subject to economy, soicial and ecology сomponents, safety enhancement of community residences of all ages and abilities. Maximizing the safety and security of all road users and mode-shifters is a fundamental objective of the urban planners and enironmental designers. While transportation facilities are initially built to optimize safety, operating environments and user expectations can change over time. Without additional preventative measures, undesirable conditions and behaviours can lead to property damages, injuries and fatalities. These risks can be mitigated through multidisciplinary road safety strategies that use infrastructure, operations and services to address road users, road environments and vehicles. Facilities and services for walking, cycling and transit can also be made safer and more secure for users. Outreach can help travellers reduce their exposure to risk by shifting to a safer mode, or by adopting safer behaviour. Perceptions related to safety can influence individuals’ choice of travel modes, and safety initiatives can help the cities achieve its objectives for walking, cycling and transit use.

1. Введение
Интенсивное развитие городов, нерегулируемая автомобилизация, выбросы в атмосферу выхлопных газов, внедрение новых высокотехнологичных способов производства привели к возникновению проблем современной цивилизации, которые в конце прошлого столетия не были столь актуальны. К проблемам современных городов относятся: 1) низкая пропускная способность автодорог, вызванная нерациональным использованием пространства дорожной инфраструктуры, ростом числа автомобилей, управляемых одним водителем без пассажиров, морально устаревшая транспортная сеть; 2) значительное ухудшение экологии крупных городов вследствие повышенной автомобилизации; 3) повсеместное распространение компьютерных технологий, повлекшее за собой переход к малоактивному (сидячему) образу жизни жителей городов; 4) отсутствие благоустройства, обеспечивающего доступ к городской инфраструктуре людям с ограниченными физическими возможностями.
