6Priority path crossing#

6.1Introduction#

The following replaces the last two sentences in Section 6.1 in the standard.

Refer to Technical Guideline Raised Priority Crossings for Pedestrian and Cycle Paths for guidance around use of STOP signs at crossings.

Requirements and recommendations for the lighting of crossings are given in Technical Guideline Raised Priority Crossings for Pedestrian and Cycle Paths.

6.3Requirements for installation#

Replace (b)(iii) as follows

iii The speed limit on approach to the crossing shall be 50 km/h or lower and the 85th percentile speed at the crossing (when constructed) should not exceed 50 km/h.

Refer to Technical Guideline Raised Priority Crossings for Pedestrian and Cycle Paths for examples of application of Queensland MUTCD Part 10 85th percentile speed requirements for raised priority crossings.

Delete the remainder of Section (b) after (iii).

6.5Pavement markings#

The following replaces (a) in the standard.

The edges of the path at the crossing may be marked across the full width of the road with pedestrian guide lines (PL) as set out in AS 1742.2.

A give way line (GW), refer to AS 1742.2, shall be marked across the approach traffic lane. The Give Way line should be offset from other linemarking and optimise visibility to path users for a stopped driver. Refer to Technical Guideline Raised Priority Crossings for Pedestrian and Cycle Paths for Give Way line placement.

The following replaces the first line of (d) in the standard.

A coloured surface treatment should be applied to a priority path crossing to enhance its visibility by providing a contrasting colour between the crossing and the surrounding road pavement.

6.6Typical Layouts#

6.6.2Notes for Figure 6.1#

For Note 2 replace ‘3 m’ with ‘desirable ≥1m’. Refer to Technical Guideline Raised Priority Crossings for Pedestrian and Cycle Paths for additional layouts.

Notes for Figure 6.2

For Note 2 replace ‘3 m’ with ‘desirable ≥1 m’. Refer to Technical Guideline Raised Priority Crossings for Pedestrian and Cycle Paths for additional layouts.

Notes for Figure 6.3

For Note 2 replace ‘3 m’ with ‘desirable ≥1 m’. Refer to Technical Guideline Raised Priority Crossings for Pedestrian and Cycle Paths for additional layouts.
