Publi roads are not normally the concemn of the architect ‘but Table T gives the recommended carriageway widths for most road types. 2.03 Definitions Carriagemay: the area of road surface dedicated to vehicles Carriageway widih the distance between the kerbs forming the carriageway edges Dual carriageway: a road with a central reservation, each separate carriageway carrying traffic in the reverse direction lane: a width of eariageway capable of carrying a single line of vehicles, usually delineated with white-painted dashed lines on the carriageway surface Lane width: since the maximum vehicle width permitted is 2.5m, and the minimum clearance between parallel vehicles is 5m, the minimum lane width is 3m. However, vehicles travelling at speed require greater clearance and large vehicles eed greater widths on curves, so faser roads have wider lanes (Cycle track or eyete path: a completely separated right-of-way primarily for the use of bicycles (Cycle lane: portion of a roadway which hasbeen designated by striping, signing, and pavement markings for preferential or exclusive use by eyeists Shared roadway: a rightof-way designated by signs or ‘permanent markings a a bieyele route, but which i also shared ‘with pedestrians and motorists Footway: an area of road devoted solely for the use of pedestrians, including those in wheelchairs or with prams, and running alongside the vehicular cariageway. In Britain the footway is also called the ‘pavement, in the USA the “sidewalk Footpath: facility for pedestrians not forming part ofa road, Footway and footpath recomendations wll be found in Chapter 6 3 ROADS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS 3.01 Environmental areas ‘This section focuses mainly on roads in residential areas and in housing estates. However, the principles are the same in industrial and business areas, only the details will differ. ‘An ‘environmental area’ is surrounded by distributor roads from ‘which access to the properties within is gained solely via the access roads within it, The acooss road network is designed with the following in mind: {© Road access to within 25m (or 15m in certain cases) of each house (© Road access to all private garages, whether within cutlages oF in garage courts; and to all parking areas ‘© Through traffic from one distibutor road to another, oF 10 another part of the same road (avoiding a trafic blockage) is either impossible, or severly discouraged © Necessary tradesmen, eg, “milk-rounds’, calling at all or most properties in sequence, are not unreasonably diverted ‘© In general, traffic is not allowed to proceed too fast, but visibility at all times is atleast the stopping distance for the possible (not the legal) speed limit. 44 illustrates typical access road layouts 302 Types of access road ‘Access roads in residential areas are of three types: {© Major access roads (or transitional).

Occasionally a single track “car way" 275m wide is used for access to about 50 dwellings, in Conjunction with a separate footpath system Shared private drives, mews courts, garage courts and housing squares, Generally these facilites serve up to 20 dwellings, and are designed for joint pedestrian/vehicle use with hard surfaces, rho upstand kerbs and no footways. Access to them from the collector roads is marked by some deviee such 8s & short ramp for rough surface material, wth the purpose of slowing down the trafic, 303 Designed controls ‘Conventionally roads were designed so that cars could be parked ‘0n both sides, and wo cars could stil pass. Ths encouraged use by vehicles trying to avoid congestion on main roads, with excessive speed and consequent nuisance and danger tothe inhabitants. 4.8 shows the characteristics ofthe various carriageway widths ‘While egal penalties can apply to misuse ofthese roads, these require enforcement resources which are rarely available. It is therefore the designer's responsibility to build-in the discourage- ‘ment required. Closures, narrowing and speed humps are now used in existing roads; but these have unwanted side-effects such as ‘complications for ambulances. fire engines and even local buses. Innew developments it should be possible to avoid these measures and sill provide sufficient restraints, 4.6 to 48 show typical arrangements of humps.

Vehicles, such as delivery vans, that are continuously using roads ‘with humps find that maintenance costs on tyres, wheels and suspensions are significantly increased. Buses and ambulances find that their passengers experience discomfort and even danger. An aliemative slowing device to the hump is the ‘chicane’, ‘examples of which are shown in 4.12 Once garages and visitors’ parking spaces are provided, kerbside parking may be discouraged by constructing one-way roads with minimum cariageway widths. However, occasional access by large furniture vans (and, unfortunatly, fire appliances) ‘will be necessary; and regular visits by refuse collection vehicles have to be as trouble-free as possible. For example, local authorities dislike cul-de-stcs with end turing areas permanently obstructed by parked cars, and may well insist on residents bringing their refuse to the entrance ofthe road, Refuse vehicles and delivery vans blocking narrow roads cause annoyance to other residents trying to pass, consider having at least two routes of accesslegress for most pars of the area. ‘may 1000, +700 max 1200 a ae 1700 1. ‘may 1000 [ey 427 Double cushion humps 4.8 Flat top hump used as a pedestrian crossing height of vertical shit length of ramp 49 Results of research into ramp dimensions for 8S percentile speed of 32 ph (20mph) h=50mmmin 100 mm max (constant profile across width) ome ~ road a7 m 4.10 Dimensions of round toproad hump fromthe Highways (Road Hump) Regulations 1990 AML Dimensions of la-top hump from the same source 1 1 1 i 1 1 t . 1 i i i 1 1 chicane with chicane with Inadequate Saami laterals prevented (racing tine’ By avid possible) carageway 4.12 Chicane types of trafic slowing device Design forthe vile 49 4 ROADS IN INDUSTRIAL PARKS ‘These must provide for use by the largest vehicles, but otherwise pose the same problems as roads in housing estates. Layout should discourage traffic using the roads as a cut-hrough, and shoulé also ensure thatthe speed of the legitimate traffic is kept low. This is ‘ot a simple matter, as comer radi cannot be too sharp when heavy vehicles constitute & substantial proportion of the traffic, 5 ROAD DESIGN DETAILS ‘SOL Visibility and stopping distance Is an axiom of road design thatthe driver should be able to see ‘distance at Jeast as far asthe distance he or she needs to stop in. If the object seen is also & moving vehicle the sight distance must allow both vehicles to stop before colliding. 4.13 gives the design stopping distances for speeds up to 110 kmh (approx 70mph), These distances are about 2 times the stopping distances given in the Highway Code for vehicles with ‘200d brakes in ideal conditions. Ths is o allow for reduced brake performance, poor weather conditions and impaired visibility. When emerging from a side road onto a through road the driver ‘must be able to see & vehicle onthe through road a distance ofthat vehicle's stopping distance. When crossing a footway the driver should be able to see 2.4m along it. Where small children are tbe ‘expected this visibility should be to within 600mm of the ground; but where there are no small children (such asin industri! areas) 1050mm will be sufficient, 4.14 and 4.15 indicate the areas that ‘must be free of obstruction, and Table Il gives some recommended standards in residential areas. 502 Curves ‘As mentioned in Section 1.04, when a vehicle travels round a curve the road width it occupies is greater than the tack width on ‘he straight, Table II combined with 4.16 indicates the magnitude ‘ofthis =the width of carriageway should be increased on curves compensate, F808 Xedm YEDEi cor crosing footoy K-24 atop citer. car neing oat 41S Required distances for unobstructed visibility speed i unfh (mph boston 10 2010 49 5D 60198 50. 199 io Gai a faa 68) ea (3s 102030 50 70 90.

To meet this factor, an efficient cirelation pattern with no inbuilt delays or ‘obstructions is essential, 4.46, The lanes between the pump islands should be sufficiently wide (75m) to allow waiting ears to move past cars being served. A pump island is shown in 4.47 “The requirements ofthe Department of Transpot’s Model Code of Principles (see References and Bibliography) with regard to the safety zoning of forecourts are given in 448, Most service stations are now designed for both self and attendant service.
