Across the U.S., states have adopted Complete Streets legislative statutes—state laws that direct transportation agencies to routinely design and operate roadways to provide safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and public transit users. To date, there has not been a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the content and provisions of these laws. In this study, Complete Streets state statutes were identified using legal research databases. Using established legal mapping methods, a qualitative analysis was conducted of state laws that were effective through December 2018. A codebook and open-source data set were developed to support the public use of the data. Eighteen states and Washington, DC, have adopted Complete Streets legislative statutes. A total of 21 have been adopted, with 76% (n=16) of laws adopted since 2007. While the laws vary in content, detail, and specificity, several common provisions were identified across statutes. Complete Streets legislative statutes may be essential to ensure that road networks throughout states are safe, connected, and accessible for all users. This study provides key insights into the legislative landscape of Complete Streets state laws and makes available a new data set that can support future evaluations of these laws.

完整的街道州法律和规定：1972–2018年的立法内容和州政策前景分析

在美国各地，各州都采用了《完全街道法》（Complete Streets立法），该州法律指示运输机构例行设计和运营道路，以为所有用户（包括行人，骑自行车的人，驾车者和公共交通用户）提供安全通道。迄今为止，尚未对这些法律的内容和规定进行系统和全面的分析。在这项研究中，使用法律研究数据库确定了《完整街道州法规》。使用已建立的法律映射方法，对有效至2018年12月的州法律进行了定性分析。开发了密码本和开源数据集以支持数据的公众使用。十八个州和华盛顿特区通过了《完全街道法》。一共采用了21种，自2007年以来已通过了76％（n = 16）的法律。尽管法律的内容，细节和特殊性各不相同，但在成文法中确定了一些共同的规定。完整的街道立法法规对于确保整个州的道路网络安全，连通并且对所有用户均可用而言至关重要。这项研究提供了对《完整街道》州法律立法前景的主要见解，并提供了可支持这些法律未来评估的新数据集。
