BUS STOP DESIGN GUIDE

SHELTERS
Photo b – Shelter for pedal cycles
6.8 Waiting passengers must have a clear view of approaching buses, and be themselves clearly visible to bus drivers and passersby.
6.9 Shelters should provide minimum obstruction to the pavement, and a recommended width of 1.8m should be allowed for passing pedestrians.There should beat least 0.5m clearance between any part of the shelter and the kerb edge.The shelter should have no projecting sections or sharp corners that would create a hazard to pedestrians.Although designs should not visually clash with their surroundings, there should be sufficient use of bright colour contrast to identify the shelter to those with visual impairments. Further specific siting details for disabled passengers are available from the Inclusive Mobility
8 guide.
