Question:

Functional Design for the car park needs to be amended. Complete this task in conjunction with the Drainage Design as both are related.

Note that you will design Pavement Design once Functional Layout has been done.

Action the following critical design changes:

1.Adopt 6.2m width between parking aisles

2. Use width of 5m for entry and exit lanes as per AS2890.1-2004

3. Adopt 2 exit lanes as no clear mention in AS2890.1-2004 Specification and to allow for better traffic control

4. Adopt Parking Bay Dimensions: Class 1- 2.4m width * 4.8 m length

5. Refer to circled markups on attached snip, for back of the kerb to back of the kerb lengths for the middle parking bay aisles.

6. Consider 8.8m car and 12.5m truck vehicle swept path movements - these have already been provided in the DGN file

7. Consider 1.0 m offsets from the viaduct piers in the middle, when designing the car parking bays. However, for the seperator island at the entry to car park, consider 2.85m offset from the viaduct pier. Refer to primary DGN file.

8. Consider 5.4 - 6.6 m lengths for the 5 * kiss and ride shared with taxi, as per AS 2890.1 2004.

9. Adopt only one accessible pathway for pedestrians and disabled patrons.
