Traffic Signal Design – <strong>Appendix</strong> D <strong>Location</strong> & Dimensions <strong>of</strong> Components<br />

If the stop line is on an angle, the detectors are<br />

staggered as shown. This is due to the fact that<br />

the stop line detectors should be rectangular.<br />

If the detectors are on a curved approach, then<br />

<strong>dimensions</strong> A <strong>and</strong> B must be the minimum<br />

<strong>of</strong>fset from the kerbs <strong>and</strong> paint lines.<br />

The saw cuts for vehicle detector loops must<br />

be located a minimum <strong>of</strong> 0.3 m from expansion<br />

joints, services <strong>and</strong> service covers. If this<br />

results in detectors being located in a nonst<strong>and</strong>ard<br />

position, setting-out <strong>dimensions</strong> must<br />

be shown.<br />

Stop line detectors should always be<br />

rectangular. When the edges <strong>of</strong> the lane are<br />

not parallel, the orientation <strong>of</strong> the detector may<br />

be varied to suit the predominant flow.<br />

Where intersection geometry allows, the<br />

location <strong>of</strong> an 11.0 m stop line detector should<br />

be as shown.<br />
