 (b) The spacing of the studs should be increased to 28 in. centre to centre, a Clear width of not less than 24 in. or more than 38 in. being left on each side of the carriageway between the first stud and the kerb or edge of the carriageway.

(c) “Stop” lines for vehicular traffic should not be used in place of a line of studs to define the area of the crossing.

(d) The studs in the two lines defining the crossing should not be staggered but corresponding studs should be in line parallel to the carriageway centre.

(e) The use of studs fitted with reflecting lenses should not be permitted on pedestrian crossings.

(f) In the interests of uniformity no form of carriageway marking other than studs spaced as specified in (b) above should be permitted at pedestrian crossings.

Advance warning sign

182. Normally no advance warning sign, is required at pedestrian crossings, but where special conditions (e.g. at isolated crossings outside 30 m.p.h. speed limit areas) justify an advance warning, the sign recommended in paragraph 66 and shown in diagram 44 of Appendix VI should be used.
