Global Street Design Guide

Rest areas are seating spaces dedicated to transit drivers near designated parking areas or at locations where mini buses or
auto-rickshaws are parked. Provide dedicated parking and rest areas to improve the comfort for drivers and to avoid these
uses taking space away from other users. Rest areas should be sheltered or shaded according to the local climate. They might
be provided on wide sidewalks, curb extensions, or in setbacks and should not obstruct pedestrian clear paths.
