Streetscape Guidance<br />
Diagonal or ‘all red signal’ crossings<br />
At a signal controlled junction, a diagonal or<br />
‘all red signal’ crossing provides an exclusive<br />
pedestrian stage to enable pedestrians to use<br />
all crossing points simultaneously and enable<br />
diagonal crossing movements (which may be<br />
appropriate for crossings with high, consistent<br />
pedestrian flows across all arms).<br />

[Part E – Physical design and materials] Crossings 151<br />
Layout criteria<br />
Diagonal or ‘all red signal’ crossings<br />
Preferred minimum crossing width<br />
3,200mm<br />
Maximum crossing width<br />
10.0 metres<br />
Dropped kerbs<br />
1:20 preferred to 1:12 (maximum)<br />
Additional requirements where central refuge is provided<br />
Minimum central refuge depth<br />
2,000mm<br />
Minimum central refuge length<br />
7,000mm<br />
Kerb upstand around central refuge<br />
125mm<br />
Good practice<br />
• Signal timings should be appropriate to pedestrian and traffic volumes<br />
• All signal schemes are required to have a design and safety check in line with the Design<br />
Standards for Signal Schemes in London<br />
• Tactile rotating cones should be fitted to all controlled crossings<br />
• Audible bleepers should be fitted as detailed in DfT Traffic Advisory Leaflets 4/91 and 5/91
