Median Crossing Upgrade
Reduction in intersection crash types. Improves local access. Provides an additional emergency access point leading to improved emergency service response times.
Additional road space may be required. If the median crossing is used to access a side road, then intersection considerations for cross movements (such as visibility and stopping distance) will apply. Ensure roadside hazards are removed or sufficiently protected. Drainage structures and steep slopes within the median can increase risk. The slopes should be as flat as possible. If the slope cannot be made traversable, it should be protected by safety barrier. Median widening should be considered at intersections to facilitate traffic for the minor road turning onto the main road in two steps. The increased width will need to accord with the type of vehicles needing to wait.at the median while completing the turning manoeuvre.
