Design considerations

The problem

It can be difficult for bus and coach drivers to stop in exactly the right place so that their doors open conveniently for their passengers.

Solution through innovation

Innovative and clearly visible marker bumps indicate the precise zone in which the driver should stop so that his doors are exactly aligned with the passengers.

Access kerb

This award-winning kerb is available in height and profile options to permit level entry access to standard or guided buses. Innovative marker bumps indicate precise bus positioning.

Complementary products

Installation guidelines

Design standards
