Bus Shelter Access

The diagrams below highlight the typical clearances required for a bus shelter located on a pavement.
Shelters should be positioned a minimum of 450mm back from the kerb edge.

• Minimum clear pavement width should be 1200mm
• 2100mm minimum headroom to the underside of the shelter or RTPI unit
• If the shelter is positioned on a shared use pavement (used by cyclists and pedestrians) the minimum recommended headroom clearance is 2300mm to the underside of the shelter or RTPI unit
