Workshop 1A: Design parameters and geographic constraints -Mitcham’s Corner to south of Woodhead Drive
Milton Road Bus Priority Corridor
Glenn Higgs
Sept 2016
Key principles:• Bus lanes in one direction• Continuous provision for cyclists,
segregated where possible• Pedestrian & cycle crossing facilities• Enhancement to streetscape
CURRENT DESIGN PLANS: MITCHAM’S CORNER TO GILBERT RD
Raised entry
Parallel crossings
Shared-use bus stop
Raised (segregated) cycle lanes
Bus lane
Area outside highway boundary
Advanced Stop LineBus gate
Signalised junction
Two-way shared use path & verge/trees
Signalised junction
Road closure
Off road cycle path
New public/green spaces
Toucan crossing
