    Treating pedestrian and turning vehicle conflicts at signalised intersections The following table provides a brief overview of the treatments and their appropriateness in certain road environments. Table 1: Overview of treatments and their use in certain road environments Table 2: Overview of treatments and their use in certain road environments Treatments to eliminate pedestrian and turning vehicle conflicts at signalised intersections Grade separation of pedestrian crossing Pedestrian overpass Maroondah Highway, Ringwood Brief description Full grade separation of pedestrians, above or below an intersection, eliminates the conflict between motorists and pedestrians at a signalised intersection. A pedestrian overpass or underpass allows pedestrians to cross the road independently of the traffic signals. Potential • At intersections within pedestrian priority areas as defined in the VicRoads SmartRoads locations strategy. • Within central activities areas (including hospital and university campuses) where pedestrian volumes are significant in all directions of the intersection. • Where an at-grade crossing is not desirable or where it is preferred that pedestrians be able to cross the intersection at any time. • Where the intersection is located between public transport nodes (e.g. a connection between a railway station and a bus interchange). • Where pedestrian paths or desire lines already take them over or under the road (e.g., at an elevated railway station). Considerations • The geometry of the overpass / underpass will appropriately cater for the expected volume of pedestrians (and cyclists). • The impact on travel times for users of the grade separated facility - they will not be favourable where the walking distance is more than 50 percent greater than the at-grade distance.

  • BICYCLE STORAGE AREAS and ADVANCED BICYCLE STOP LINES
    Technical direction For traffic and transport practitioners POLICY – GUIDELINES - ADVICE PUBLISHED JULY 2009 TDT 2009/ Supersedes NIL 06 BICYCLE STORAGE AREAS and ADVANCED BICYCLE STOP LINES INTRODUCTION On 1 July 2008, new road rules came into force in NSW. The Road Rules 2008 included rules for Bicycle Storage Areas and Bicycle Hook Turn Storage Areas at signalised intersections. Advanced Bicycle Stop Lines were already covered by the road rules, though this term is not, given that they are simply another type of stop line. There are many different terminologies used when referring to bicycle storage areas and their associated components and/or variations. The terms commonly used are head start storage areas, bicycle reservoirs, bicycle storage areas, bicycle storage boxes or bike boxes. In NSW we will use the terms Expanded Bicycle Storage Areas, Bicycle Hook Turn Storage Areas and Advanced Bicycle Stop Lines. The general terms, bicycle storage area, when used in this Technical Direction, refers to both Expanded Bicycle Storage Areas and Bicycle Hook Turn Storage Areas. This technical direction covers the use of Expanded Bicycle Storage Areas, Bicycle Hook Turn Storage Areas and Advanced Bicycle Stop Lines at signalised intersection within NSW. In general, bicycle storage areas are best suited for use on roads with high bicycle numbers and lower traffic volumes (e.g. local roads and some regional roads) while Advanced Bicycle Stop Lines are more suited to roads with both high numbers of bicycles and vehicles (e.g. major roads).

  • AN ILLUSTRATED LEXICON of CYCLE FACILITIES Abstract
    An Illustrated Lexicon of Cycle Facilities Lieswyn et al AN ILLUSTRATED LEXICON OF CYCLE FACILITIES Technical Note: 2 Walk and Cycle Conference, Hastings, February 2012 Authors: John Lieswyn (presenting) BSc, MET (pending) Transport Planner, ViaStrada Ltd Phone (027) 598 5019 [email protected] Andrew Macbeth Axel Wilke Jeanette Ward Jon Ashford Rick Houghton Warren Lloyd (All of ViaStrada Ltd) Abstract The purpose of this technical note is to define, describe and illustrate cycle facilities appropriate for use in New Zealand. The wide range of terms available for the various types of cycle facilities often results in confusion. The non-descript 'cycleway' is perhaps the most ambiguous term in common use, but other terms such as “cycle path” are interpreted in different ways by different people. With the growing interest in separated bicycle facilities (SBFs), this confusion is set to continue. This technical note attempts to reduce the current state of confusion by proposing terminology to define the various cycle facility types. It predominantly discusses mid-block facilities, rather than intersection facilities, as this is where most confusion seems to lie. The definitions are based on existing guides, legislation and the authors’ collective experience with cycle facility planning and design. For each facility type, a brief description and some high level advice is given. In addition to rationalising existing discrepancies, new (to New Zealand) terms for several types of SBFs and off road (typically unsealed) trails are proposed. It is hoped that the illustrated lexicon will contribute to improved understanding and further discussion amongst transportation practitioners, ultimately leading to the standardisation of cycle facility terminology in New Zealand.

The safety study of roundabouts is, therefore, most important for awaking road and traffic administrators from a state of ignorance in Japan. This report shows several recent Japanese activities for evaluating roundabout safety. One activity is comparison study between roundabout and non-signalized right-angled intersection. Japan does not have roundabouts until now. Therefore, user adaptations for roundabouts should be evaluated before their installation. There are many discussions in terms of roundabouts such as whether drivers could make a hook turn in the right turning case (left turn in the US), how to educate the rule to run through the roundabouts and so on.

  • Ride with Confidence Know the Rules and Best Strategies to Reduce Your Risks and Ride with Confidence
    RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE KNOW THE RULES AND BEST STRATEGIES TO REDUCE YOUR RISKS AND RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE. CROSS TRAFFIC The main causes of serious crashes for riders are drivers crossing their path. Num- ber one is the right cross, which is a driver from the other direction turning right. So always scan for this and don’t proceed past a gap in stopped traffic without scanning for a car coming through, even if someone waves you through. The number two cause is cross traffic just not seeing riders. Try to make eye contact with any driver crossing your path. If you can’t, slow down and be prepared to give way. COMMUNICATION OVERTAKING LEFT Scan ahead and slow down Bike riders can overtake if you’re not sure whether on the left but have to give someone has seen you or if way to drivers turning left. they will give way.

  • Using Lego® to Engage with Communities Abstract
    Using Lego® to Engage With Communities Jake Roos EVERYTHING IS AWESOME - USING LEGO® TO ENGAGE WITH COMMUNITIES Practice Paper Author Jake Roos (presenter) MAppSc BSc (Hons) Director Jake Roos Consulting Ltd [email protected] 022 6871980 ABSTRACT Lego® is a global phenomenon with broad appeal. Using Lego® bricks as a medium to explain and explore public projects is an effective means to engage people, to increase their understanding and gather their views. Kāpiti Coast District Council has used Lego® to explain its LED streetlight programme, the implementation of a cycle hook turn at a major intersection upgrade and create a shared vision for the future Paraparaumu Town Centre. The latter project won an Award from the International Association of Public Participation. All the projects were implemented by a variety of community groups, businesses and individual Lego® enthusiasts from ages 5 to 78 working together. This breadth of involvement led to a greater public understanding of the subject matter than otherwise might have been achieved. Using Lego® to Engage With Communities Jake Roos Page 1 INTRODUCTION Godtfred Kirk Christiansen developed the Lego® brick design and patented it in 1958, as a system of imaginative play that has since developed to become a global phenomenon. Lego® was voted the most popular toy of the last 100 years in a 2004 survey by the V&A Museum of Childhood in London (Herman, 2012). The Lego® Group (TLG) is now the world’s largest toy company by revenue (Wikipedia, n.d.). Its product appeals to males and females, young and old alike. Lego® has many advantages as a creative medium; namely, that it is easy to use, requires no tools, paints or adhesives, can be endlessly reused and rebuilt into new forms, is highly versatile and can make relatively sturdy, durable models (or ones that can be easily repaired) of practically any size.

    Public Response to Share Your Ideas Questionnaire From 2/24/18 to 3/10/18 the City of Salem distributed an online and hard copy survey to residents asking for their ideas to relieve traffic congestion in the project area. The following pages are a compilation of all comments received. Share Your Ideas! With traffic levels hampering downtown circulation and long delays in west Salem, residents are asking for transportation infrastructure improvements. The Task Force will investigate potential ways for the City to relieve congestion in the project area and advise the City Council on policies and actions to improve traffic flow (see back page for map). From February 24 to March 10, the City of Salem welcomes your ideas on possible solutions. The City will then conduct a technical analysis to evaluate traffic options that can happen in the near-term. The City will share the results of the technical analysis and a list of recommendations for public comment later this year. 1.
