Bus Stop Locations
TS,
Good information & assessment.
There may be long stretches on roads without signalled intersections (ring rd, old airport rd, bellary/new airport rd, etc) where mid-block stops & other types are located. These are the areas where fatal accidents can occur as pedestrians try to cross & speeding vehicles knock them down.
Nice one
Seem to have missed this slide show. I think mid-block is a better option. Usually junctions will be at a walkable distance. Where they are not, pedestrain facilities should be enhanced. This could be by way of a push button pedestrian operated set of traffic lights that stop traffic for pedestrians only when they are around (and hoping to cross), thus in between the 8-10 minutes before the next bus arrives, the road will remain available to traffic. Ideally, there should a be a staggered pedestrian refuge midway, and another push button operated signal to finish crossing over to other side (this way traffic is blocked on one side at a time for lesser time that when allowing for pedestrians to cross the entire road width in one go).
Cheers,

Bus stops - design, location
TS, hope you find this useful.

I simply scanned it, the best I have come across.
The bus stop just before junction - they advocate the bus should be about 15-20 sec away (when in motion) for signal detection and bus priority to work - any closer will cause problems in implementing this technology.

have seen this
We may havetalked around this pdf in some post here. I think either tarle, blrsri or myself may have posted this in context of bus bays.
UK examples are nicer than the usual ones from US. Thats because space constraints are similar, similar population density, narrower roads (compared to the US), older cities - UK or Japan would be better standards to build on (both are densely populated) than the US.
