Now I might be wrong here (what, me, never!) but despite what the AC might think with their little 'lists' telling them what is and isn't 165 compliant I have always assumed that it is up to the LA to decide what it is measuring (within reason!) and how it complies. The AC should be checking that we ARE accessing sites and to what criterion we are measuring BUT what we measure is up to us (unless someone wants to disagree?) That said when posts are some distance into the footway or where requested we have fitted such reflective bands Tony Anthony Sharp=20 Engineer (Traffic Signals)=20 Highways South Gloucestershire Council=20 Broad lane, Yate BS37 7PN=20 Tel: (01454) 86 3605=20 Fax: (01454) 86 3757=20 Find out more about the work of the Highways Section at: www.southglos.gov.uk/highways =20 =20 -----Original Message----- From: tcug-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tcug-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stapley, Mark Sent: 17 January 2008 14:13 To: tcug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TCUG] BVPI 165 I have been asked a question about a BVPI 165 requirement regarding reflective bands on poles with PBU's on.
