Notes:
1. Arrow Marking co-ordinate is the midpoint at the base of the arrow in the direction of
the traffic flow.
For example,
a) Type C (straight / right turn shared arrow): one arrow only, hence only one point (x1,
y1) required.
V1.4 Page 8
RIMS Unit RDH Data Collection Specification
b) Types G (left converging arrow) & H (right converging arrow): two arrows, hence
two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are required.
