Despite the advantage of walking mode of transport, there is no standard pedestrian facility not only in quality but also in the capacity. Thus, pedestrian accidents are a serious and growing problem in the world, especially in the cities of low income and middle-income countries. To answer all the research questions, a 1 to 5 Likert scale , correlation and multiple linear regression models were used. Moreover, primary and secondary data were collected using research tools and collected data was analyzed using (SPSS) version 20. Results showed that the presence of rubbish dumped on pedestrian walkways, temporary garbage storage on pedestrian walkways and unlimited excavation and construction materials dumped on pedestrian walkway were the major challenges in pedestrian side walk. Besides, design of pedestrian facilities can lead to endless problems and can discourage the pedestrians due to a feeling of unselfishness, unprotected, or uncomfortable conditions. Thus, it is recommended that while planning urban road facilities, pedestrian crossings should be given due importance and placed accordingly so that its impact does not affect the traffic flow to a higher level.
