All pedestrian crossing points must be monitored so they continue to be appropriate for the location while operating safely and efficiently. They may need to be replaced by an alternative treatment if the types and/or numbers of pedestrians change or the speed, volume or composition of traffic changes substantially. Crossings should also be reviewed when nearby land use changes.
Crossing point design includes considering the cost and ease of maintenance, repair, reinstatement and replacement, especially in the materials used. It also includes considering the implications of maintenance for pedestrians and other road users.
