Detailed guidance can be found in Accessible Bus Stop Design Guidance. Cycle lanes at bus stops Options for cycle infrastructure at bus stops depend on the nature of the general provision for cycling on the corridor, and on bus infrastructure and operation. Factors to be taken into account include: • Cycle flows, and flow variation during the day and week • Degree of separation of cyclists Figure 193: A bus boarder used to raise the kerb height to 140mm • General motorised traffic volumes • Volume and frequency of buses stopping (including the frequency with which more than one bus is likely to use the stop at any one time) • Access for wheelchair users • The number of bus passengers using the stop at different times • The pedestrian routes to and from the bus stop • Pedestrian comfort in using the adjacent footway Figure 194: A bus stop by-pass for Cycle Super Highway 2 on Whitechapel Road Our Accessible Bus Stop Design Guidance (2015) should be consulted for further guidance. Authorisation The Highways Act 1980 allows local highway authorities to give consent for objects to be sited on the highway. The safe operation of bus stops signs should be assessed via the Road Safety Audit process. Section 55(i) of the DfT Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 provides that a highway authority may cause or permit traffic signs, which includes bus stop signs, to be placed on or near any road in their area. DfT Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 Schedule 5, Signs for Bus, Tram and Pedal Cycle Facilities, diagrams 973.2 and 973.3: Stopping place for buses operated by or on behalf of or under agreement with Transport for London. This describes the TfL LBSL roundel bus stop flag graphics as a recognised road traffic sign; permitted variants enable the face of the sign to be curved, and the word ‘STOP’ may be varied as ‘STAND’.

Benefits The Digital Sign provides passengers with access to live bus arrival information away from the bus stops, helping them to make informed travel choices. Digital Sign technology has been further enhanced for use in bus station and interchange environments where it is often more complex to display bus arrival information than at standard bus stops due to the number of routes and bus stops converging. Implementation We have also developed a means of displaying the sign in a robust, secure and weatherproofed structure that is fit for purpose in exposed environments. Applying in London The bus station Digital Sign is currently under trial at Vauxhall and Harrow.
