Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The minimum width of a refuge island used in the ACT is 2m. This provides adequate width for a bicycle or a person with a pram to safely wait within the refuge for a safe moment to cross the road.
(2) The traffic lanes either side of the island are required to be a minimum width of 3.7m. This lane width provides space for a vehicle to safely pass a cyclist. The width of the traffic lanes past the refuge islands is greater than the minimum 3.7m required. In addition to the width, “Watch for Bicycles” signs have been installed at the refuge island near Ennor Crescent.
