VRIOGS 003.2-2006 22Figure 8 : Raised Pavement Markers(b) Location of Pavement MarkersIn cases where there is an escape path at the active crossing, no lines or pavement markersshould cross the route to the escape bypass. The layout of these tiles should be as shown inFigure 9.Figure 9 : Location of Raised Pavement MarkersNO LINES OR PAVEMENTMARKERS SHOULD CROSS THEROUTE TO THEESCAPE BYPASS6.5 Edge Line Continuity to the EnclosureIn some cases the width of the Enclosure facing the crossing of the tracks will be slightlydifferent from the width between the edge lines of the crossing itself. In these cases thecontrasting edge lines of the crossing should taper to the end posts of the Enclosure to helpguide sight-impaired pedestrians.NOTE: This Document is controlled only when viewed on the DOI Engineering Standards Web Site.

VRIOGS 003.2-2006 236.6 Panel Crossing UnitsCrossing panels provide many benefits in terms of facilitating disabled access as well asadding the ability to be temporarily removed during track reconstruction. They are notappropriate in all instances and should be avoided where the adjacent –• track contains an Insulated Rail Joint• track radius is less than 800 m• track’s rail weight and sleeper type combination are not suitable.6.7 Flangeway GapsThe passage of trains rely on a minimum sized gap beside the rail to allow space for thewheel flange. However flangeway gaps represent a hazard to small-wheeled mobility aids.Once trapped within the gap, some users find the wheel very difficult to extract. Themaximum gap sizes are shown in Figure 10.The top of the path surface should be level with the top of the rail, noting that if somemisalignment is unavoidable it is preferable to disabled users to have the rail level slightlyhigher than the crossing surface level.The flangeway gap width must be continuous across the crossing width. The base of theflangeway gap must also be of a continuous depth being free from holes, slots and grooves.Figure 10 : Maximum Flangeway Gap Dimensions65 mm max*40mm max*** 60mm maximum width for allcrossing materials other thanconcrete.** Note: 50mm maximum depthallowable on freight lines.NOTE: This Document is controlled only when viewed on the DOI Engineering Standards Web Site.
