Vehicle accessways - Specifications

Specifications should be tailored to the particular situation but in general they should:

ensure that visibility is good enough to allow vehicles to move into the accessway safely
consider pedestrian and cyclist movements
ensure that vehicles are not forced to queue, to reverse into the road, or to swing into the path of vehicles in opposing lanes
ensure that vehicle crossings are designed to operate safely, have good visibility and achieve efficient traffic flow
ensure that on-site loading facilities do not adversely affect road or pedestrian safety
ensure that where access is to, from or in close proximity to a state highway, that district plan provisions are not inconsistent with Transit NZ 's Planning Policy Manual.
