Pavement width to the rear of the bus stop should be a minimum of 1.5m. In areas of high pedestrian footfall or close to the entrance of buildings this should be a minimum of 2m. Where the existing environment does not support this, additional space for buses must be provided through pavement widening / build outs.

Bus stops should where possible be fitted with digital countdown displays that provide live information on bus times.

They should also include legible maps of the other bus services, local facilities and pedestrian and cycle connections to aid passengers in their onward journey.

A clear 2m x 2m area must be provided between the bus flag and shelter. This will allow sufficient space for wheelchair users to manoeuvre and access a bus without obstruction.

A minimum kerb height of 125mm must be used at bus stops. This should be for a minimum distance of 6m to facilitate the easier access onto and off buses for all passengers.

Kerbs should be located so as not to obstruct the swept path of buses with lowered front steps.

Buses must be able to stop and be no further than 50mm away when parallel with the pavement.

Bus stops and flags should be positioned at least 0.5m from the edge of the kerb.
