Pedestrian Accessibility Diagram. These diagrams illustrate walking distance
in four neighborhoods in Seattle, WA. The circles are a 1/2 mile in radius, the
lines radiating from the circles center show direct distance from the center,
and the indirect lines represent the walking distance from that point to the
center. The two diagrams at the top illustrate neighborhoods with intercon-
nected street networks, while the two on the bottom are more disconnected.
The walking distances in the interconnected neighborhoods average 1.29 times
longer than the direct distances, while walking distances average 1.6 times
longer in the disconnected neighborhoods. (Anne Vernez-Moudon).
