Many trucks have significant blind spots around the cab. There is concern that where cyclists ride up to an advance stop boxes (ASBs), they are riding into a truck’s blind spot. To address this, a new ASB treatment is needed which results in greater space between cyclists and trucks.
This design guidance note provides a treatment solution for ASBs in which a buffer zone is placed between the ‘limit line’ and the ASB to improve the likelihood of drivers detecting cyclists within the ASB as well as decreasing the level of vehicle encroachment into ASBs.
