Pavement markings may simply guide traffic or give advance warning, or they may impose restrictions that are supported by traffic regulations. They may act as a supplement to other road devices, but they are often the only effective means of conveying certain regulations and warnings to drivers. It is essential to check their use against the traffic laws and regulations before they are installed or removed, to avoid possible conflict or confusion. 5 Limitations Pavement markings have the following limitations: (a) They may not be clearly visible if the road is wet or dusty, e.g. near an edge or a median. (b) They are subject to traffic wear and usually require frequent maintenance. (c) They can be obscured by traffic. (d) Their effect on skid resistance requires careful choice of materials particularly when there are large marked surface areas. Markings within a traffic lane may be a hazard to motorcycles and should, where practicable, be avoided on curves. In spite of these limitations they have the advantage under favourable conditions of conveying information to drivers without diverting their attention from the road. Types of Line Marking The following types of markings are may be used and are described in detail in AS 1742.2: (a) Longitudinal lines Dividing lines AS 1742.2, Clause 5.3.2 Barrier lines AS 1742.2, Clause 5.3.3 Lane lines AS 1742.2, Clause 5.3.4 Edge lines AS 1742.2, Clauses 5.3.5 and 5.3.8 Continuity lines AS 1742.2, Clause 5.3.6 Turn lines AS 1742.2, Clause 5.3.7 Longitudinal lines at intersections AS 1742.2, Clause 5.3.9 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ TA-8777 FIJI 6 VERSION 1 – APRIL 2018 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (b) Transverse lines Stop lines AS 1742.2, Clause 5.4.2 Give-way lines AS 1742.2, Clause 5.4.3 Markings at STOP and GIVE WAY signs AS 1742.2, Clause 5.4.4 Pedestrian crosswalk lines AS 1742.2, Clause 5.4.5 (c) Other markings Diagonal and chevron markings AS 1742.2, Clause 5.5.1 Messages on pavements including words, numerals and arrows AS 1742.2, Clause 5.5.2 Marking of parking and loading areas See AS 1742.11 Kerb markings AS 1742.2, Clause 5.5.3 (d) Raised pavement markers AS 1742.2, Clause 5.6 1.2 Line Marking and Road Rules Refer to Austroads Guide to Traffic Management Part 10 – 2016, Section 6.1.1 1.3 AS 1742.2 Clause 5.3 - LONGITUDINAL LINES 1.3.1 AS 1742.2 Clause 5.3.1 - General The pattern and dimensions of longitudinal lines used in Fiji are shown in Table 9 below.

However it also focuses on Traffic Signs and Road Situations outside Gibraltar, that as a driver you will come across most often. The most vulnerable road users are pedestrians, particularly children, older or disabled people, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. It is important that all road users are aware of The Code and are considerate towards each other. This applies to pedestrians as much as to drivers and riders. Many of the rules in the Code are legal requirements, and if you disobey these rules you are committing a criminal offence. You may be fined, or be disqualified from driving. In the most serious cases you may be sent to prison. Such rules are identified by the use of the words ‘MUST/ MUST NOT’.

    Chapter 3 - Intersections Publication 13M (DM-2) Change #1 – Revised 12/12 CHAPTER 3 INTERSECTIONS 3.0 INTRODUCTION By definition, an intersection is the general area where two or more highways join or cross including the roadway and roadside facilities for traffic movements within the area. The efficiency, safety, speed, cost of operation and capacity of an intersection depends upon its design. Since each intersection involves innumerable vehicle movements, these movements may be facilitated by various geometric design and traffic control depending on the type of intersection. The three general types of highway crossings are: (1) at-grade intersections, (2) grade separations without ramps and (3) interchanges. The most important design considerations for intersections fall into two major categories: (1) the geometric design including a capacity analysis and (2) the location and type of traffic control devices. For the most part, these considerations are applicable to both new and existing intersections, although on existing intersections in built-up areas, heavy development may make extensive design changes impractical. The design elements, capacity analysis and traffic control concepts presented in this Chapter apply to intersections and their appurtenant features. Additional sources of information and criteria to supplement the concepts presented in this Chapter are contained in the 2004 AASHTO Green Book, Chapter 9 and the MUTCD. 3.1 OBJECTIVES AND FACTORS FOR DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The main objective of intersection design is to facilitate the convenience, ease and comfort of people traversing the intersection while enhancing the efficient movement of motor vehicles, buses, trucks, bicycles, and pedestrians. Refer to the section "General Design Considerations and Objectives" in the 2004 AASHTO Green Book, Chapter 9, for details about the five basic elements that should be considered in intersection design: human factors, traffic considerations, physical elements, economic factors, and functional intersection area.

The Center is encouraged by Caltrans’ commitment to increase safety and security on bridges, highways, and roads and create a low-carbon transportation system that protects human and environmental health. To achieve these goals, it is imperative that Caltrans integrate wildlife connectivity into the design and implementation of California’s transportation infrastructure. The Center urges Caltrans to improve driver safety and minimize the impact of roads and traffic on wildlife movement and habitat connectivity with the following actions: 1. Collect and analyze standardized roadkill and wildlife vehicle collision data. 2. Build climate-wise wildlife crossing infrastructure in high priority areas. 3. Prioritize wildlife movement and habitat connectivity on ALL transportation projects. 4. Designate an expert unit dedicated to address wildlife connectivity issues. This unit should form strategic collaborations and partnerships with other connectivity experts. 5. Evaluate the effectiveness of wildlife crossing infrastructure to inform future mitigation. 6. Upgrade existing culverts to facilitate wildlife connectivity as part of routine maintenance. 7. Provide up-to-date guidance for best practices for climate-wise connectivity. 8. Engage with volunteer and community scientists and platforms. 9. Improve multimodal transportation design.

Looking ahead to pending updates to the classification systems of towns and cities in Maricopa County, the original MSRP stipulated a periodic review and modification of the street functional classification portion of the plan. This revision incorporates the following changes: (1) as anticipated, many of the communities in the County have updated either their general or transportation plans in the time since the adoption of the first MSRP; (2) a new roadway classification, the Arizona Parkway, has been added to the Maricopa County street classification system and the expressway classification has been removed; and (3) a series of regional framework studies have been conducted by the Maricopa Association of Governments to establish comprehensive roadway networks in parts of the West Valley.

  • Chapter 7: Transportation Mode Choice, Safety & Connections
    Chapter 7: Transportation Mode Choice, Safety & Connections Comprehensive Plan 2040 7-2 TRANSPORTATION City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan 2040 INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Transportation Chapter is to guide development, maintenance, and improvement of the community’s transportation network. This Chapter incorporates and addresses the City’s future transportation needs based on the planned future land uses, development areas, housing, parks and trail systems. The City’s transportation network is comprised of several systems including roadways, transit services, trails, railroads and aviation that all work together to move people and goods throughout, and within, the City. This Chapter identifies the existing and proposed transportation system, examines potential deficiencies, and sets investment priorities. The following Chapter plans for an integrated transportation system that addresses each of the following topics in separate sections: • Roadway System 7-1 • Transit Facilities • Bikway & Trail System • Freight & Rail • Aviation The last section of this Chapter provides a summary and implementation section which addresses each of the components of the system, if any additional action within this planning period is expected. The Implementation Plan sets the groundwork for investment and improvements to the transportation network consistent with the goals, analyses, and conclusions of this Plan. As discussed in preceding Chapters of this Comprehensive Plan, the Transportation Chapter is intended to be dynamic and responsive to the City’s planned land uses and development patterns. As the City’s conditions change and improvements occur, this Chapter should be reviewed for consistency with the Plan to ensure that the transportation systems support the City’s ultimate vision for the community through this planning period.
