What minimum width is required for a pathwalk under the IRR of PD 957?

The minimum width required for a pathwalk under the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Presidential Decree No. 957 is 1.2 meters. This standard ensures accessibility for pedestrians, accommodating safe and comfortable movement in residential developments. It allows for two people to walk side by side, which is particularly important in areas with high foot traffic.

This width also takes into consideration the need for pathwalks to accommodate wheelchairs and strollers, promoting inclusivity in urban planning and development. The specification of 1.2 meters reflects a balance between usability and space efficiency within the overall subdivision design, adhering to safety regulations and fostering a positive experience for residents and visitors alike.
