One solution would be to have detectors (call delay) on the vehicle
crossings which call an all red stage to run before the peds.
Consultation with the frontagers will be necessary to explain that they
will get an all red but they must still proceed with caution. This has
been done in Salisbury.

Subject: [TCUG] Conflicts between cyclists/accesses and pedestrian
facilities
We are looking at a couple of schemes (feasibility/design) where it is
required to install signalised pedestrian facilities (with
audibles/tactiles) - probably on an all -round pedestrian stage. However
there are potential conflicts with uncontrolled vehicles (from driveways
to
houses) and/or cyclists (uncontrolled entry into junction) - and we are
pondering over whether to allow this. We think it is likely that
cyclists,
and drivers from properties, are most likely to emerge and cross the
pedestrian facilities when they are green (i.e. when all other traffic
is
stopped). It this fair and safe for pedestrians? However separately
signalling driveways and/or a cycle entry could be confusing for
pedestrians
- as this would be similar to an all-red stage, but without the ped.
crossing signals operating.
What do other authorities do in this situation (on the design of new
schemes)?
