The green transport hierarchy (Canada), street user hierarchy (US), sustainable transport hierarchy (Wales),[1] urban transport hierarchy or road user hierarchy (Australia, UK)[2] is a hierarchy of modes of passenger transport prioritising green transport.[3] It is a concept used in transport reform groups worldwide[4][5] and in policy design.[6] In 2020, the UK government consulted about adding to the Highway Code a road user hierarchy prioritising pedestrians.[7] It is a key characteristic of Australian transport planning.[8]
