I am under increasing pressure from the cycling team to provide advanced = cycle stoplines without feeder lanes, indeed there are several sites in = Bristol where this has happened in the past. I am currently a little unsure as to where this places us legally as my = understanding is that ASL's are only approved with feeder lanes and to = install them without may be a departure from standards thus in effect = being non proscribed road markings. I would like information as to what other authorities do in this case as I = am sure we are not the only place this kind of conflict has taken place. Also has any one approached DeFT about this issue with a view to special = authorisation or not. Another issue I have is whether any one has staggered stoplines for = adjacent lanes, I have only known of 2 such layouts and wonder what the = legal status of this layout is.=20 Needless to say when asked to put ASL's onto this type of layout I had = grave concerns about the message we would be giving to the general public. The last issue I have is whether any one has used =BD width ASL's as these = have again been suggested by the cycle team where a full lane could be = achieved. I would welcome any comments that people have on these issues. Thanks=20 Bruce Slattery Traffic sig ----------------------------------------------------------- A message from the TCUG mailing list.
