Figure 10C-8. Typical Light Rail Transit Vehicle Dynamic Envelope
Pavement Markings
This figure illustrates typical light rail transit vehicle dynamic
envelope pavement markings.
The figure shows a horizontal two-lane roadway. Black arrows on
the roadway show the direction of travel as one lane in each direction.
The opposing lanes are shown separated by a double yellow line.
A note states: "In an effort to simplify the figure to show
the dynamic envelope markings, not all pavement markings or other
required traffic control devices are shown."
In the center of the figure, a symbol of a vertical light rail
transit track is shown across the roadway. The light rail transit
dynamic envelope is indicated as an area extending on both sides
of the track for an undimensioned distance. Vertical white lines
that are parallel to the track are shown marked on the pavement
and extending across the roadway at the edges of the dynamic envelope.
The white pavement markings are shown as a dimension of 100 mm (4
in) wide. The distance from the inside edge of the white pavement
markings to the outside edge of the rail is noted as: "The
distance between rail and dynamic envelope pavement marking should
be equal to 1.8 m (6 ft) unless otherwise advised by the operating
light rail transit authority."
