3 Welcome to Complete Streets a new era and the next generation in the IPWEAQ Queensland Streets document. On behalf of the Board of IPWEAQ it is my pleasure to introduce you to this exciting new publication from the Institute. Complete Streets is a technical guide for urban street design, but really it is so much more than that. In conjunction with its online presence, this Guide seeks to be a living, breathing, evolving, comprehensive how-to-kit for contemporary urban street design that will produce quality spaces that cut across a variety of contexts for a wide range of users to experience and enjoy. Technical, aesthetically oriented and even esoteric in parts; this Guide is about helping build and strengthen communities through highly effective means as it captures, inspires and guides you the engineer and designer, practitioners, stakeholders and decision makers at the design and planning stage to ensure real, significant impact and lasting positive change. The outcome is greatly improved social spaces better streets and quality neighbourhoods. Now more than ever social spaces streets and neighbourhoods play an integral role in sustainable contemporary life, affirming our identity and reflecting social and cultural shifts across all contexts of modern society. Historically, streets have focused on motor vehicle access with no or little consideration beyond this point but streets are becoming multi-purpose, multi-use spaces that need to provide more than just motor vehicle access to fulfil their ever increasing role in our complex urban lives. Now and in the future, streets are required to serve as destinations which provide access and a place for people to experience: a paradigm where streets provide networks not just for connectivity with surrounding streets and land marks, but also for users of that space to connect with each other and their surroundings. Here at the Institute we recognise that there is a clear and pressing need for quality urban spaces and people places that serve a diverse range of users through innovative planning and design. IPWEAQ is experienced in this space through many initiatives, most notably through the success of our previous hard copy publication and this Guide s predecessor, Queensland Streets, the first edition of which was launched in Heightened further by the recent changes in planning policy, Complete Streets is now your total solution in professional urban design for the future. I would sincerely like to acknowledge and thank our stakeholders in the project of Department of Infrastructure and Planning, Queensland Health and the Department of Transport and Main Roads, and the many contributors to the process that allowed the document to be peer-reviewed across Queensland through extensive workshops. I would also like to acknowledge the hard work of IPWEAQ Board member Martin Crow who has led this process from concept to reality and the many members and public works professionals who have given freely of their time to ensure that this publication is practical and useful for communities throughout Australia. On behalf of all at the IPWEAQ we hope you enjoy and derive great benefit from using this document as we continue to work together engineering communities after all, it s what we do!

14 PART 1 Complete Streets 1. Introduction 1.1 The History of Queensland Streets Queensland Streets was released in 1989 and re-released in 1993 by the Institute of Municipal Engineering, Australia, Queensland Division. Its major focus was on providing the technical basis for a uniform standard of design for residential streets for use throughout Queensland and to provide technical support for the principles outlined in the Australian Model Code for Residential Development (AMCORD). Since its last release in 1993 there have been many changes in urban development and local government such that a new version of Queensland Streets was needed to address these changes and be a more useful tool in assisting in the delivery of quality urban development in Queensland. 1.2 Purpose of Complete Streets Streets should be important places in our lives. Streets need to provide more than just motor vehicle access to fulfil their ever increasing role in quality neighbourhoods. Complete Streets provides a uniform approach to designing streets for modern communities. It includes principles appropriate to the desired outcomes derived from Federal responses to climate change and peak oil; Queensland Government responses to regional planning and growth management; and Local Government issues of mixed modes and sustainable communities identified within the consultation process (refer Queensland Streets Report 1, Consultation Report). 1.3 Audience for Complete Streets Given the many changes in urban development practices and in Local Government since Queensland Streets was last published in 1993, the audience for Queensland Streets has become more diverse. It is anticipated this document will be used by various disciplines in the design of streets, street layouts of streets, layouts and communities. Note that this document has no statutory role, but is available as a guide to both designers and design assessors. It has been noted that more local authorities now have their own detailed street design manuals. However it is not considered this will diminish the role of Complete Streets. Rather it offers guidance on how to develop sustainable communities and provides opportunities for more diverse solutions where current street designs might not be appropriate. In these instances it assists designers and assessors in determining the merit of innovations to achieve better outcomes for specific development or place types. 1.4 Using Complete Streets It is important to acknowledge that these guidelines are for streets, not for roads. Roads provide a transport function, they are not destinations in their own right and they have a different place function when compared with streets. Streets are destinations, they provide access and they are places for people to experience.
15 For the important role of streets to be fulfilled, guidelines on the way our streets are designed and the way that they interface with land use should be considered in the light of community s expectations from their streets. Recent changes to planning policy in Queensland encourage more diversity in housing, a mix of land uses in communities, and developments more suited to walking, cycling and public transport use. It is important that our street designs reflect this shift and ensure a quality, integrated approach to both green field and infill development. Complete Streets is a significant departure from previous editions in that it does not consider private vehicles to be the most significant travel mode. Instead these guidelines consider streets to be genuine community space where, through proper design, motor vehicles can be accommodated. The guidelines are intended to allow and encourage good design where pedestrians, cyclists and public transport patrons have equality of access in and around their communities and are not disadvantaged to motorists. Complete Streets encourages streets which: help build and strengthen the communities that they serve; meet the needs of all users; form part of a well-connected network; are attractive and have their own distinct identity; are cost effective to construct and maintain; are safe. And discourages streets which are: designed primarily for traffic; bland and/or unattractive; unsafe or unwelcoming for active transport modes; difficult to serve with public transport. In developing Complete Streets, current statutory instruments, current design standards and a number of similar street design manuals from around Australia and the world were referred to. A complete reference list is provided in Chapter Error! Reference source not found.. They form part of a suite of planning and design documents which control and guide development in Queensland. These documents work together to create communities of the future. Figure 1-1 shows how Complete Streets relates to these other statutory and non-statutory documents.

19 1.5 Space for pedestrians Pedestrian movement is the most important mode of transport and must be provided for in every case. Successful streets provide a sense of being in a room for pedestrians. This room is created by the appropriate relationship of both vertical and horizontal space, as determined by street planting, street furniture and adjacent activity demand. On busy streets the room is a separate space where pedestrians feel safe and comfortable. On less busy streets the room can include the space used by other transport modes also, particularly where the space is shared. Whatever the room includes, it must be formed on a human scale and provide for people and their activities. Photo 1-1: Height and width combine to make a complete pedestrian space
20 1.5.1 The following describes various methods of incorporating cycling traffic within the street On-street one-way cycle lane On-street cycle lanes are a common response to provision for cycle activity. Cycle lanes should be developed to minimise risk from parked motor vehicles as well as moving motor vehicles. Where vehicles park, there should to be sufficient space for cyclists to ride away from the motor vehicle and outside of the motor vehicle door zone. Creating designated cycle lanes and painting these to highlight their importance can be an effective method for establishing a safe place on the road for cyclists. Painted cycle lanes are a good method for establishing waiting areas for cyclists at intersections (stand-up lanes). Photo 1-2: Painted cycle lanes are a more prominent way of defining cycle lanes on-street Photo 4-1 shows a common response to cycle provision on-street. It is not an ideal outcome because it places cyclists in the motor vehicle door zone. In this case, the bike lane is wide so the cyclist can take evasive action. For busy streets and where parking turnover is high. This solution might not be ideal, however sometimes space restrictions will limit design to this solution.

22 Intermediate stops are for higher volume routes in regional towns and suburban city routes. Figure 1-2: Qconnect premium bus stop Premium bus stops are for high passenger volume routes. They would be suitable for main streets and high activity, mixed-use streets in urban village type areas Bus lanes Mid-block treatment refers to the provision of street space for buses other than at intersections or stops. In most streets, buses will operate within normal traffic, without requiring dedicated bus lanes. In very busy streets, however, where intersection treatments have been provided, it may be advantageous to provide bus-only lanes to enable a continuous bus facility. This is a network wide, public transport planning decision and not an ad-hoc street design decision. These provide design challenges, particularly with regards to pedestrian amenity, shared use of road space by cyclists and access to parking. Individual transport agencies and service providers may have their own specific guidelines for when particular on-street facilities may be required 1, and these should be consulted at the planning stage. Additionally, Austroads, Part 3: Geometric Design should be referred to for appropriate lane widths, as well as Part 4 Section for bus lane treatments at intersections Bus only streets and transit malls There are many examples where public transport plays a very significant role in streets and there are even 'transit malls' where a significant amount of space is dedicated to public transport at the particular expense of motor vehicle traffic (see photograph below of Cairns Transit Mall). It must be acknowledged transit malls are prone to many of the same risks as pedestrian malls in that significant numbers of people are required to activate them and provide an appropriate level of casual surveillance. 1 e.g. see TransLink Planning Policy and Evaluation Framework: Planning for Bus Priority Facilities
23 Photo 1-3: Cairns Transit Mall TransLink is a south east Queensland entity, however the passenger infrastructure that has been designed to meet TransLink s requirements is considered appropriate for use throughout Queensland. The impending release of Queensland Transport guidelines on public transport facilities will also provide options for street designers to include as part of their public transport infrastructure.
24 1.5.1 On-street parking On-street parking can influence speed in more than one way. In low volume living streets it can induce a weaving driving pattern thus impacting on speed. It can impact on perceived road width and reduce speed and in busy mixed-use or main streets the actions of pulling in and out of parking spaces can impact on traffic speed. Photo 6-6 shows an example of how on-street parking can impact on the speed environment of a living street. Photo 1-4: On-street parking influencing speed environment Other speed control devices, often known as local area traffic management (LATM), are also used to control speed. These treatments are unnecessary for appropriately designed new streets but are used to address speed and safety issues in existing streets. They include speed bumps and chicanes and other physical impediments to vehicle speeds. These tools are not always successful and often affect pedestrian and cycle environments. These tools should only be used where no other solution is viable. Part 13 from the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices gives adequate guidance on the use of traffic management devices Selecting a design speed Design speed for motor vehicles must be decided with equal consideration for all street users, pedestrians, cyclists, public transport and private motor vehicle traffic. The design speed used in these guidelines is the 85 percentile, maximum speed of traffic within the street and may therefore be determined according to amenity rather than
25 capacity. This is different to the highway or road design concept, where the design speed is the minimum safe speed at any point on the road.
