| BUS STOP DESIGN GUIDE 8. CARRIAGEWAY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR BUS STOPS 8.30 Where two or more bus stops are provided in adjacent positions to allow segregation of boarding for buses on different services or routes the carriageway markings maybe extended in length. Sufficient space must be allowed for the entry and exit of successive buses (See Diagram 8t).The kerbside line, if appropriate, should be extended between the stops and additional hatching may also be added to define the entry/exit length. Diagram t – Extended markings for double bus stop ������������������������� ������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������ ��� ��� ��� ��� ����������� ����������������� ������������ �� ��� 8.31 It maybe that, subject to adequate enforcement, in the long term every bus stop should be protected by carriageway markings prohibiting stopping by other vehicles. In the short term, priority should be given to bus stops which are frequently obstructed, such as locations with commercial frontages, certain residential areas with restricted off street parking and locations around the circumference of parking control zones. It must be a consideration in locating such markings that enforcement is necessary, as experience has shown that alack of enforcement can bring all such bus bays into disrepute. 67 |
