Ensure transport priority measures match broader Road User Space Allocation objectives and public domain measures, and that access to centres and destinations served by active transport corridors is supported.
Benefits
- Improves access to public transport services and nearby destinations located near to the crossing
- Reduces interruption to active transport movements along the corridor
- Requires less supporting infrastructure such as land, traffic signal posts, fencing and signage, improving the quality of public space
Considerations
- Enterprise contexts may require turning radii for larger vehicles, potentially making this hard to achieve
- Will detract from general traffic efficiency where needed

Examples
A maximum of two signal phases is needed for people within the catchment of Edmondson Park Station to cross Campbelltown Road from Bardia. This facilitates access to train and bus services, as well as the emerging village centre there.
Location:
Campbelltown Road, Bardia at MacDonald Road

Access to bus services at the far side of the corridor on The Northern Road means crossing in up to five separate phases, reducing the attractiveness of the facility. Bus stops located on the departure side of intersections provide connectivity to regional centres however the time taken to navigate the intersection would become a factor for people evaluating whether to take public transport or use another mode of travel.

The Northern Road, Badgerys Creek at the intersection with Badgerys Creek Road
