Access and Inclusion Residential Roads

Residential Roads

  • Wherever possible, keep footpath kerb lines and medians straight without indents or protrusions.
  • Consider whole streets and precincts rather than individual sections or blocks.
  • Footpaths on both sides of the street where there are high pedestrian volumes or safety concerns.
  • Provide minimum vehicle lane widths to encourage traffic calming and a corridor appropriate in scale to the future residential density.
  • Design for shade trees and vegetated areas that provide respite from heat, improve air quality and offer a sense of tranquillity.
