From a transportation standpoint, Complete Streets accommodate users of all ages and abilities traveling by all modes: walking, bicycling, transit, driving, and others. Complete Streets also address goals that are broader than mobility. Urban streets are typically characterized by interrupted flow, that is, flow regulated by traffic signals, STOP signs, or roundabouts. Context sensitive solutions (CSS) is particularly important in the design of urban streets, where a wide variety of users and stakeholders, potentially with competing needs, are often found within a relatively small geographic area. Selection of the appropriate design controls is essential to ensure that the completed street fulfills functions desired by the implementing agency and the community. The tracking of design vehicles is an important determinant of corner radii at intersections. Shared space helps to generate public spaces where traffic, social and all other spatial functions can be in harmony.
