Line 47:
**A reduced radius could increase difficulties to turn for larger vehicles (trucks and busses), so in some cases, mountable islands have been used, similarly to the truck mountable aprons which surround the centre island of roundabouts.
* A setback crossing for pedestrians and cyclists, preferably 5 meters (16.5 ft) at signalised junctions
* A forward stop line, which allows cyclists to stop for a [[traffic light]] well ahead of motor traffic who must stop behind the [[Pedestrian crossing|crosswalk]], therefore placing bicycles in better view of a vehicle turning to the nearside.
* Separate signal phases, or at least a leading green interval for cyclists and pedestrians, to give cyclists and pedestrians no conflicts or a head start over motor traffic.
Some countries such as the UK, do not permit partial conflicts. A partial conflict is where turning motor traffic may conflict with a cycle lane going straight ahead and/or a pedestrian crossing. These may be prohibited on safety grounds to prevent motor traffic colliding if they fail to give way when turning. However, they can also be beneficial as one cycle crossing will not require traffic to wait at a red light while the cycle light is green. This cycle light may be accompanied by audio signals to aid the visually impaired. They generally shouldn't be used if the amount of turning traffic is high, a bidirectional cycle track is used or outside of built up areas.<ref name=":0" />{{Rp|page=153}}
