Obstruction Description Buffer Diagram<br />
Cafés<br />
Café seating areas act like a wall, so the<br />
usable footway width is the width from<br />
the kerb to the edge of the Café zone<br />
plus the standard buffer.<br />
Note that the area around Café seating<br />
is flexible - tables may be intended <strong>for</strong><br />
two but extra chairs may be introduced<br />
by both customers and vendors to seat<br />
a larger group.<br />
It is also important to consider<br />
additional obstructions such as<br />
advertisement boards as these can<br />
reduce footway width further.<br />
Cycle Parking This is <strong>for</strong> non-hire sites only.<br />
Cycle Hire Sites should be reviewed<br />
on a case by case basis.<br />

Cycle Parking<br />
If parallel to the road, cycle parking<br />
<strong>for</strong>ms a barrier and is treated by<br />
pedestrians as a wall so the usable<br />
footway width is the width from the<br />
building to the edge of the cycle<br />
stands plus 200mm.<br />
If the cycle stand is positioned<br />
diagonally to the road, the reduction in<br />
clear footway width is approximately<br />
2000mm.<br />
If the cycle stand is positioned<br />
perpendicular to the road, the<br />
reduction in clear footway width is<br />
approximately 2,500mm.<br />
