Pedestrian Refuges

Pedestrian refuges allow a safe point for pedestrians to wait at when crossing wide or busy roads. It is noted that many people do not feel safe when using refuges and should the funds be available kerb extensions should be considered to reduce the width of the road at the crossing points rather than using refuges. The general dimensions of a pedestrian refuge are illustrated in Figure 4-3. Pedestrian refuges should in all cases be adequately illuminated in accordance with AS/NZS 1158 – 2007, and careful positioning of streetlights should be considered in accordance with AS 1158.4: 2007. Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 4 – Intersections and Crossings – General also recommends a refuge width of at least two metres to allow storage for a person with a pram or bicycle needs.
