| BUS STOP DESIGN GUIDE 3 SITING OF BUS STOPS • In the case of residences designed specifically for the elderly and mobility impaired, there should be not more than 100m between the development and the bus stop and, • Where there are gradients, the suggested walking distances should be reduced by 10m for every 1m rise or fall. 3.7 To maximise the catchment area, and wherever possible, the bus stop should be located close to the junction of the side road to meet the standards described above.Visibility requirements and road safety will however have to be given consideration in locating such a bus stop. 3.8 Where a bus stop is to be located close to a junction, the preferable location for it is on the leaving side of the junction See Diagram 3a).This has the advantage that the presence of the junction keeps the approach to the bus stop clear of parked vehicles. Extra consideration needs to be given however to stops at locations such as this where it is likely that two buses could arrive at the same time. In such circumstances, additional length needs to be provided for the buses to clear the junction. ������������������ ������������������������ �������������������� ������������������������ ����������������� ��������������������� ������������������������ �������������������� �������������������� ������������������������� ������� ���� �� Diagram a – Bus stops near junctions 11 |
