Public Transport Vehicles
Extra care in the design of the road environment needs to be taken at pick-up and drop-off locations to ensure that vehicles can and re-enter traffic flows safely and that passengers have access to accessible footpaths and pedestrian crossings.
Fares are often low, so operators of public transport often work long hours to stay in business and risk becoming fatigued. They might also drive at fast speeds to compete with other operators, and may make sudden and frequent stops to pick up passengers, each of which adds risk.
inappropriate speeds lack of facilities at drop-off and pick-up points (especially for pedestrians) uncontrolled movements and turns, especially at intersections and access point) lack of separation of vehicles or road users of different size (e.g. lack of facilities for pedestrians and cyclists) lack of separation for vehicles travelling in different directions (e.g. lack of median barriers) lack of advanced warning of hazards inadequate information to enable road users to negotiate the roadway safely presence of hazards, particularly at the roadside (e.g. utility poles and trees) poor road surface.
