Hi,
we're planning a guided Busway which will run partly on current streets
and partly on a guided section. On the street sections there will be a
raised kerb at the stops of between 180 and 200mm and on the guided
section it'll be about 300mm.
Inclusive Mobility etc guidance is clear not to use tactiles on raised
kerbs at bus stops but does include them for Light Rapid Transit
systems. To err on the side of caution the designers of the stops have
included lozenge type tactile paving on both, I think as the 180-200 is
above the Inclusive Mobility guidelines of 160-180.
Is this the right approach? Your advice appreciated as we don't want to
send out confusing messages.
Thanks
Paul
