Figure 11 – Sight clearance area required for 390 David Low Way as required by AS2890.1
(Figure 3.3) and Austroads

In order to keep the areas shown in Figure 11 clear of obstructions to visibility it is
recommended that: -

         The proposed stone wall be constructed along the boundary of the clear zones
          shown in Figure 11;
         Existing vegetation in the clear zone area be removed / reduced in height;
         Any new vegetation in the clear zone area be low planting (approximately 300mm
          high and maintained at this level); and
         The proposed stone wall achieve a 0.5m offset from the edge of the footpath (refer
          to Section 8 below).

    8. Horizontal clearance requirements
Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 6A: Pedestrian and Cyclist Paths requires that a
minimum lateral clearance of 0.5m should be provided between the edge of any path for
cycling and any obstacle, which if struck may result in cyclists losing control or being injured.
The location of the existing timber bollards is within 0.5m of the edge of the path. It is
recommended that the proposed stone wall be constructed to ensure that a minimum 0.5m
clearance from the edge of the pedestrian path is achieved for cyclist safety. This 0.5m
clearance should occur on both the northern and southern sides of the driveway.
