Good, safe and well maintained pedestrian sidewalk facilities that are comfortable to be used by all groups of pedestrians could encourage people to travel by walking. However, due to lack of information on the pedestrian travel trends or pedestrian profile’s pattern local authorities have to face many challenges in providing facilities that are suitable to be used by each group of pedestrians. Pedestrians’ characteristics such as gender, age and abilities usually influence the pedestrian preference and affect the pedestrian volume. Since each pedestrian have different characteristics, Level of Service (LOS) of a sidewalk may be affected by different pedestrian profile composition, pattern or volume during weekday and weekends. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to look on how does the pedestrian profile pattern differs by number of trips made during weekdays and weekends in one of the Central business district within Kuala Lumpur City Center that are known to have highest pedestrian volume with adequate pedestrian facilities. The objective is achieved through pedestrian classification count on afternoon peak-hour for one whole week in two different locations within Central Business District in Kuala Lumpur City Centre. In overall, similar pedestrian profile pattern for afternoon peak period were observed during a weekend which is on Monday to Thursday for both count location and the number of trips made increased on weekends.
