Happy New Year to one and All


Hopefully, you guys can offer some good advice on this one.


I have a new Junction being installed with walk with traffic peds on
three arms + an off-set ped facility approximately 30m from the main
junction. This offset ped will be controlled by the main junction
controller as a separate stream or with phase delays (still to be
agreed), and the question has been asked whether the road markings for
the offset ped should be zig-zags or the standard stop lines/centre line
with double yellows. The signal equipment will be nearside puffin type
with pedestrian detection.

There is also a mid block dual puffin crossing being installed
approximately 100m from the offset crossing that will have zig-zag
markings.

My initial thoughts are that we should use zig-zag markings for
consistency, but 5/05 Pedestrian Failties at Signal Controlled Junctions
does not advise this.


Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.=20


Kind Regards
