| Abstract | ||
| Pedestrian bridges are important, and they cannot be dispensed. They transport people from one sidewalk to another without obstructing the movement of vehicles and creating congestion, and they are conducive to individuals' lives. This research deals with pedestrian bridges in Baghdad and their use efficiency. So, the researchers did the monitoring and surveying of the site. The researchers also surveyed a random sample to find if they use pedestrian bridges near their work site or housing. Whether they use these pedestrian bridges or not. How do they evaluate the effectiveness of these bridges? If these pedestrian bridges need different types of Maintenance. What is the efficiency of use? As well as their suggestions for places that need pedestrian bridges. The research found a weakness in constructing these bridges and their efficiency. People have suggested bridges near educational land uses. The bridge near the University of Technology was considered a study area because it is one of the most widely used bridges, especially since it is close to the University of Technology and its location is above the expressway. The research concludes that the Technology pedestrian bridge is very high but has great benefits, and people need to cross the highway safely and smoothly. The research recommended a set of suggestions presented by the participants, such as surveillance cameras, electric bridge building, and many other suggestions. | ||
