Streetscape Guidance<br />
Design<br />
Side road entry treatments should consist of:<br />
• An uncontrolled crossing with appropriate<br />
tactile paving treatment<br />
• A crossing width of minimum 2,400mm<br />
• A flush crossing surface raised to footway<br />
level through vertical deflection<br />
• Tight corner radii of 3,000mm or less to control<br />
vehicle entry speeds, with radius kerbs used<br />
• Footway build-outs where appropriate to<br />
reduce carriageway width<br />
The extent of carriageway narrowing should be<br />
based on local traffic flows and classified<br />
turning movements.<br />
• Entry treatments are classified as road humps<br />
in regulatory terms<br />
• The highest point on a flat-topped road hump<br />
must be no more than 100mm above<br />
carriageway level. Where a standard 125mm<br />
kerb is provided, the surrounding carriageway<br />
needs to be built up, so that the side road<br />
entry does not exceed a 100mm rise above<br />
carriageway level<br />
• One-way side roads should provide carriageway<br />
widths suitable for single vehicle access,<br />
usually in the range of 3,000mm to 6,000mm<br />
dependent upon the vehicles expected<br />
• Two-way side roads should ideally be between<br />
5,000mm and 6,500mm wide<br />
Good practice<br />
• Entry treatments should not interfere with<br />
vehicle access to properties<br />
• Street furniture may be introduced on widened<br />
footways as part of the entry treatment and<br />
should be selected in accordance with<br />
Streetscape Guidance<br />
• Relocate drainage gullies where necessary and<br />
avoid locating within the uncontrolled crossing<br />
• Designers should acknowledge the impact of<br />
carriageway narrowing on cycling quality<br />
