Enterprise street
A street that serves industrial and commercial areas, catering to people who work in the areas as well as those who deliver freight and servicing.
Enterprise streets cater to people who deliver freight and servicing using light to heavy vehicles as well as to people who use other modes for access to workplaces, warehouses, or other economic activities. These streets are typically found in industrial and commercial areas.
Enterprise streets should be positioned within networks so they have good access to main roads. This is to avoid impact from heavier vehicles affecting areas with higher place value.
These areas have traditionally been underserved by active and public transport. There is an opportunity to diversify mode share and move away from the use of private vehicles, for example to provide local workers the choice to walk to work from public transport, or to cycle to work. In these cases, the inherent conflict between these transport modes and the freight and delivery vehicles can be managed with considerate street design.
