ROAD SAFETY ISSUES

ACCESS TO TERMINAL

Large median gap allowing undefined movement and turns

Poor terminal access: vending activities hinder pedestrian access / movement

Poor visual access: hard-to-locate terminal

• Single entrance point for buses and passengers

• Reduced driver visibility at entrance point

Boarding-alighting activity onto a bus in motion

Interchanging passengers are forced to walk across the open terminal ground, where buses operate

Congested and haphazard parking within the terminal:• increases safety risk while pulling into

and out of parking spaces• very unsafe and hampers efficient bus

operations

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OPTIONS

DESIGN OBJECTIVES

Phase:1• Improve pedestrian safety and environment while accessing

the terminal.• Rationalise bus circulation within the terminal.• Reorganise terminal layout to reflect desirable and safe

movement and flow buses and pedestrians.• Provide better terminal facilities and improve safety for the

BEST driver and conductor staff.• Provide amenities for the users to increase safety and

usability within the terminal.

Phase 2: Integration with commercial component.
