No landings need be provided on slopes flatter than 1 in 19.(c) Surface SmoothnessThe path is to be durable and maintainable asphalt, concrete, rubber or equivalent. It shall befree of potholes with a non-slip surface with levels no greater than ±12mm from the designplane when constructed.Approach paths shall be designed so that water does not accumulate on the surface. Ifgratings are located in a walking surface, they shall have spaces not more than 13mm wideand not more than 150mm long. If gratings have elongated openings, they shall be placed sothat the long dimension is transverse to the dominant direction of travel.(d) Camber and Cross fallThe camber or cross fall shall not exceed 1 in 40.(e) Passing areasPassing areas must have a minimum width of 1800mm and be provided at not more than 6mintervals.(f) Step RampsIf Step Ramps are provided they shall conform to AS1428.1.(g) Hand RailsWhen an approach path leads to a pedestrian crossing that is a means of access to a publictransport facility handrails shall be provided in accordance with AS 1428.1(h) Continuity of Visual CluesThere should be a continuity of visual and tactile cues on the route between the municipalpath and the crossing itself, for example a continuity of directional tactile ground surfaceindicators where they are provided on the Municipal Footpath Network.
