| 6 SHELTERS 6.10 Where glass is used to provide alight interior, it should have atonally contrasting band 140 - 160mm wide at a height of approximately 1.5m from the ground to improve visibility.This band can possibly incorporate either the Translink or shelter provider’s name and/or logo. 6.11 Shelters should be constructed from vandal resistant materials that are easy to clean and need minimum maintenance. Materials and designs used should be of standard size, shape and type to allow easier maintenance. 6.12 A bus shelter should not be sited where it might cause obstruction to passengers who are boarding or alighting or obstruct sight lines for other drivers. 6.13 Combining bus shelters with commercial advertisements or public telephones (so long as these do not have priority over bus service information) will reduce costs, minimise footway obstruction, and facilitate lighting the shelter at night, thereby reducing passenger fear of assault.Any shelter without lights should be sited in open, well-lit areas. In addition, all new enclosed shelter designs should have entrance and exit choices which avoid entrapment. 6.14 Passenger information displays should be mounted on the shelter and the bus stop flag fixed to the shelter above roof level to do away with the need fora bus pole and thereby help reduce street clutter. 30 |
