These days, “Transit Street” is being advocated in the USA. Transit Street means “the street which is prioritized for public transportation” and is mainly designed for public transportation and pedestrian. In contrast to Transit Mall, private cars also can go through Transit Street, however, some devices make them inconvenient. Some cities and associations already have published guidelines for Transit Street. In Japan, there’s no concept like Transit Street, nevertheless, there’s a case similar to Transit Street. The objective of this study is to suggest a guideline for public transportation prioritized streets in Japan. Then, the history, definition, and spatial elements of Transit Street and Japanese cases are reported. After that, guidelines of Japanese Transit Street are shown referring to Transit Street in the USA.
