Figure 10C-7. Light Rail Transit Vehicle Dynamic Envelope
This figure illustrates the light rail transit vehicle dynamic
envelope. A legend shows a black arrow indicating the direction
of travel in the lanes.
The figure shows a head-on drawing of a light rail transit vehicle
on a cross section of track and surrounding roadway or sidewalk.
Vertical dotted lines drawn from the top of the roof beyond the
wheels on the track define the light rail transit vehicle dynamic
envelope—the width of the vehicle and anything extending over
the sides of the vehicle.
Between the dynamic envelope and the roadway or sidewalk, a differential
area is shown in a contrasting pavement texture and/or color from
the roadway or sidewalk. Beyond this area, edge pavement markings
and then the roadway or sidewalk are shown.
