Section 6 Engineering Quality Standards Manukau City Council <strong>Road</strong> Construction the path of travel and at right angles to the hazard or ramp. • The crossing point shall be orientated such that the leading edge of the crossing is perpendicular to direction of travel. • The edge of the indicators should be set back 300mm from the crossing line or kerb face. • Warning indicators should extend the full width of the ramp and be a minimum of 600mm deep. • The tile colour should be 70% high contrast to the surrounding surface. It is recommended that the colour should be a standard safety yellow unless otherwise specified. • Warning indicators must also be included at median refuge islands and at grade for public vehicle entrances. Consideration should be given to including tactile directional indicators (Type C) in complex areas to indicate direction of travel. They are to be designed in accordance with Drawing R8, RTS 14 LTNZ, NZS4121: 2001 Design for Access and Mobility – Buildings and Associated Facilities and are to comply with the requirements of the Disabled Persons Act, Building Act, Council’s Disability Policy and Action Plan and the Barrier-Free Manukau document. 6.B.5.4 Vehicle crossings shall be provided as detailed on Drawings R9 and R10 if intended locations are known at the time of subdivision. Vehicle crossings shall be installed clear of catchpits, street trees, traffic signals, streetlights, bus shelters, pram crossings, traffic signs, or street furniture unless a consent from Council has first been obtained. Vehicle crossings shall intersect with the carriageway at an angle between 45 o and 90 o C5 Drawing R10A shall be used as the design template to ensure the 90 percentile car can travel across a vehicle crossing without grounding.

Section 6 Engineering Quality Standards Manukau City Council <strong>Road</strong> Construction and shall comply with the minimum and maximum widths as shown in Table D. This rule also applies to vehicle crossings shared by more than one property. Mountable kerbs shall be cut out prior to placement of concrete for all vehicle crossings. Table D Residential and non-residential/business crossings shall be as detailed on Drawings R9 and R10. The maximum gradient of the vehicle accessway within the private property boundary adjoining the vehicle crossing shall not exceed 1:5 for residential and 1:8 for nonresidential/business. For curved ramps and driveways, the gradient is measured along the inside radius. Where the vehicle crossing exits onto to a primary road and is used by heavy vehicles, the first 15m of the crossing shall be approximately at the same level as the primary road.

For large non-residential or business complexes vehicle crossings may take the form of a standard carriageway. This is generally termed an “at grade” crossing and each will be subject to special design and approval. The following minimum separation distances shall apply to vehicle crossings serving nonresidential/business activities: • 3 metres between vehicle crossings as measured at the kerb. • 1.5 metres between the vehicle crossing and the applicant’s side of property boundary as measured at the kerb and perpendicular to the kerb. This provision shall not apply in respect of vehicle crossings shared by adjoining properties.
