Authorisation
Our bus stop flag is a traffic sign as defined
by the Traffic Signs Regulations and General
Directions 2002, and is erected only after
consultation with the highway authority.
Bus passenger shelters
The following should be read in conjunction
with section 6.1.3 of the DfT’s Inclusive mobility
guide (2002) and our Accessible Bus Stop Design
Guidance (2015).
Location
There are three general arrangement options for
bus passenger shelter placement based on the
footway width, pedestrian flows, required bus
stop capacity and adjacent building entrance
locations.
Shelters should ideally be positioned a minimum
2,000mm from any other street furniture.
Where there is inadequate space for a shelter,
a free-standing unit with integral flag, Realtime
information (RTI) ‘Countdown’ and perch seat
may be provided.
Bins should be provided where space allows,
although not sited within 2,000mm of the
passenger waiting, boarding or alighting areas.
