Urban transport system can not exist without the infrastructure for pedestrians. The needs of pedestrians should be considered when designing new roads or reconstruction of existing roads. Unfortunately, in many cities of Ukraine have many problems related to sidewalks and other items pedestrian facilities, so they must be evaluated and reconstructured if necessary. The focus of this study is to show the existing methods of assessing the level of comfort of pedestrians successfully used worldwide.
