RE: Red light timing
Hi Luke, 
The term ‘Mixed Environment” what does that refer to? Is it to do with both motorists and cyclists involved in the 
assessment?

Hi Soon, 
 
One more thing, do we have any Council policies on the stopping distance and times of heavy 
vehicles? 
 
Or do we only refer and comply with the Nationwide Accepted Standards and Regulations? 
 
Thanks 
Ana
