A design modification of GOST 52766 “Public highways. Regulation elements. General requirements”, which may become the norm over time.
Let us dwell for a moment on the main points of the amendments.
a. Mandatory lighting is prescribed on toll roads, regardless of their category and traffic intensity (section 4.6.1).
2. Additional requirements for shrubs are described, which in some cases can be planted instead of railings (according to GOST 52289). According to the new requirements, the height of the bush should not exceed 80 cm.
3. Reduced minimum distance between bus stops. If they should now have been no more than 3 km away on category 1B-4 roads, it is now proposed to reduce this distance to 1.5 km.
four. There is a new requirement for the width of the landing at the bus stop — it must be at least 2 meters.
5. In section 4.5.2 “Pedestrian crossings”, the requirements for the visibility of pedestrians at pedestrian crossings at the same level as the carriageway have been extended. The minimum sight distance for stopping is suggested to be determined by the refined formula.
