4 Is the alignment of kerbs, traffic islands Layout and medians satisfactory? Is the crossing layout obvious to all users? Are turning radii and tapers at nearby intersections and driveways appropriate? Are adequate approach and departure stacking distances available for long vehicles? Can queuing over the rails suddenly occur due to unexpected downstream events (eg right turn vehicle giving way to opposing traffic, pedestrian crosswalk, guard crossing, etc)? Do pedestrian mazes, fences or other structures restrict visibility from side roads or driveways? 5 If provided, can vehicles safely enter Access and leave nearby railway maintenance Tracks track/s? CHECKLIST 5.4 NON-MOTORISED TRAFFIC ITEM ISSUES TO BE CONSIDERED COMMENTS 1 Are there appropriate travel paths and Paths crossing points for pedestrians, cyclists and the disabled (wheel chairs/‘gophers’)? 2 Where necessary, are pedestrian maze Barriers and treatments and/or gates installed for Fencing pedestrians and cyclists? Is the pedestrian maze in accordance with AS1772-7, 1993? are associated signing and/or warning lights and audible warning devices installed? Is fencing installed to guide pedestrian movements and is fencing of appropriate design (eg avoids solid horizontal rails)? Where necessary, is crash barrier installed to controll pedestrian and cyclist flows? 3 Are rail tracks flush with the road and/or Surface path surface to avoid tripping by pedestrians and dislodgement of cyclists?
