| 8. CARRIAGEWAY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR BUS STOPS 8.17 Due to higher entry speeds, more clear space for lateral movement is required on the approach to a bus stop than on the departure side.These requirements apply equally whether the lateral movement of the bus is due to entering a bus bay or accessing a stop between parked cars.Typical entry tapers are in the order of 1 in 5, and exit tapers in the order of 1 in 4. 8.18 The standard dimensions for bus lay-bys are shown in Diagram 8g.Where kerbside length is constrained, an alternative layout is given in Diagram 8h. However, this layout requires substantially more verge/footway depth to provide and is only designed to accommodate buses up to a maximum length of 11m whereas modern buses have a maximum permissible length of 12m. ��� ��� ��� �� ��� Diagram g – Standard layout of bus lay-by ��� ������ �� � �������������������� � � �� ����� ������������������������� ����������������������� Diagram h Saw tooth bus lay-by 60 61 8.19 Diagram 8j shows a modification to a standard bus bay which reduces the amount of footway/verge required by allowing the marked bay to encroach into the carriageway.This extension to the length of the parallel kerbface provides a beneficial increase in the stopping area and helps the driver to properly align the bus. Designers will need to consider the implications of a stopped bus encroaching into the inside lane of the carriageway. Photo k - Typical lay-by – Toome Bypass Download 3.5 Mb.
