I would support this we essentially put in ASL's at all signal junctions =
with a 300mm length and a 45 degree feed in marker when we can not achieve =
a full lane. We also colur them all red so as to highlight that they are =
not normal carriageway.=20
This is I accept a liberal interpretation of the regs but in an urban =
setting where cyclists are prevalent this at least provides a farmal gap =
that the cyclist can enter the lane in.
This has been done on more than 100 locations without significant issue =
and has not adversely affected road safety.
Also most igns are not affected if you put ASL's on all arms as all =
distances increase, it can make peds a bit long but only by a second or =
so.

Chapter 5 of sign regs, para 16.21 states that feeder lane 'must' be
provided. It does not say how long it should be!

Do any authorities install Advanced Stop Lines without feeder lanes. Many
designs we receive cannot accommodate feeder lanes due to lane widths.
Should I say 'No feeder lane - No ASL' ? or compromise and have them =
without
feeder lanes?
I am being pressured by our cycling officer to provide something!
