Line 45:
This protected intersection design features a number of common elements that optimise safety:
* A corner refuge island with a reduced turning radius
**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 apron|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.
