6.13 Pedestrian sight distance availability

AS 2890.1 requires a sight triangle of 2.5m length by 2m width, to be provided at the site
egress location, to ensure sufficient sight distance is available for pedestrians. This
requirement is illustrated in Figure 9.




Figure 9: Pedestrian sight distance requirement (AS 2890.1:2004)


Figure 10 illustrates the preservation of the pedestrian sight triangle at the proposed
vehicle egress point off Rufous Street. It is noted that since the proposed driveway is
designed to cater for two-way movements, the pedestrian sight triangle is only required
towards the left-hand side of a vehicle exiting the site. As can be seen, the required
sight triangle is preserved of obstructions within the proposed design, within the subject
site. Any landscaping/trees within this area should be less than 1.15m in height (this is
the driver's eye height as per AS 2890.1).
