MAPS Segments Lagos

This exercise is about assessing the microscale features on street segments.
Each route is made up of one or more segments. A segment is a section of street or road between two crossings, or if the name of a street changes, a new segment should begin, although a crossing has not been made.

Rules for Side of Street Selection:
1. Begin data collection on the same side of the street as your starting point.

2. If you encounter a segment on the walking route with no sidewalk, cross to the opposite side of the street only if a sidewalk exists there. If before you begin the segment, you can see up ahead that the sidewalk on your side of the street is non-continuous and there is a sidewalk on the other side of the street, you will complete a crossing and start a segment on the other side of the street.

3. If permanent or temporary obstructions in the pathway exist that forces you off the walkway, cross to the other side of the street.

4. Do not cross to the opposite side of the street more than twice in one route.
