It is important that individual road controlling authoritiesestablish consistent guidelines for edge line treatmentsat intersections appropriate to the needs of their ow ndefined roading hierarchy and individual roadenvironment. Edge line treatments should maintainconsistency with national practices. Refer to the AUSTROADS Guide to Road Design Part 4A Unsignalised and signalised intersections and the LTSA/Transit New Zealand RTS 5: Guidelines forRural Road marking and Delineation.
