Pedestrian/cycle links (F) Pedestrian/cycle links to existing development should be created where they can make an important contribution to the strategic network and where they are likely to be well used and direct. Visibility to and from NMU Crossing Points 3.6 Any crossing of a trafficked road should be located such that drivers of vehicles have full visibility of NMUs wishing to use the crossing point. Visibility Splays and sight lines are an essential feature of an access or junction as it allows traffic on the minor road to see cyclists, vehicles and pedestrians on the main road. A visibility splay is formed by measuring to a point 2.4m back from the carriageway in the centre of the driveway or entrance. The pedestrian desire line, vehicle speeds, visibility, pedestrian/vehicle flows, size of roundabout, and length of crossing/road width should be considered when deciding the optimum location. x��]o�8�=@�_ x y y Major Road Minor Road Visibility splay hatched 22 x�bbRd`b``Ń3� ��ţ�1�x4>F�c�1@� #gl Pedestrian Visibility Splays These are required at all egresses including private drive accesses. xref to Domestic vehicular access layout for use on classified roads - with pedestrian visibility requirements (where footway width is greater than 1.8m and where setback/restricted frontage height secures visibility). <>/XObject<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI] >>/MediaBox[ 0 0 595.32 841.92] /Contents 4 0 R/StructParents 0>> pedestrians and cyclists, setting out an approach to residential streets that recognises their role in creating places that work for all members of the community.

An unobstructed visibility splay allows you to see and be seen, therefore the longer the length of visibility splay, the more time another road user has to see you, and for you to see them. 0000003093 00000 n Sight-splays should give 1.5m x 1.5m clear visibility above a height of 600mm and may be achieved by splaying back the building or wall abutting the entrance – either by setting the building or wall back 1.5m from the rear edge of the footway, or by widening the entrance by 1.5m on either side.
