Step 2: Vehicle Crossing Diagram

You will need to submit a vehicle crossing diagram with your application for a vehicle crossing permit (in Step 4).

Your vehicle crossing diagram should include the following details:

  • Provide as much information as possible to help us assess your application. This does not need to be professionally drawn.
  • The diagram below shows the minimum space which must be maintained between the vehicle crossing and street assets such as power poles, trees and utility pits. Check what is relevant to your site and mark it on your own diagram.
  • Include measurements of distances between your proposed crossing and street assets including trees, pits, poles, bus stops and other street furniture.
