I am currently in discussions with District Audit who are asking lots of
questions about how to determine a crossing is compliant with BVPI 165.
They came to see me last week and spent quite sometime going through the
guidance, since then he has visited several sites in the area. He has just
rung me to ask about our understanding of the following comment in the
guidance:
However, it is not acceptable for a crossing to be regarded as compliant in
circumstances where other traffic management alterations could be made to
allow the crossing to be fully compliant. This would apply, for example, i=
f
the installation of additional detection to allow an extended clearance
period when traffic is caught within a junction at the end of the vehicle
green would in turn allow installation of audible and/or tactile indicators=
,
in circumstances where otherwise such signals would not be provided for ris=
k
of directing visually-impaired pedestrians to begin crossing when traffic
was still moving. Similarly, crossings should not be counted as compliant
if fitting a noise reducer on the crossing could overcome objections from
neighbours about noise nuisance.=20
If you can let me have your views, I will pass them on to him
Thanks
