5.8 Inset (indented) uncontrolled crossings

Where possible, crossings at side roads should be inset into the side road approximately 1000mm beyond the radius kerb. The tactile surface should be installed across the full length of the dropped kerb to a depth of 400mm.


diagram of an inset (indented) uncontrolled crossing where the point of crossing is set back 1000mm from the radius kerb and not in the main direction of pedestrian travel. A "dropped kerb" H road marking extends along the length of both taper and dropped kerbs. A row of tactile paving tiles extends across the full length of the dropped kerb section and is 400mm deep.
