       (2) The push-back alignment bar marking must be a broken white line, comprising stripes 1 m long and 0.15 m wide, spaced at 1 m intervals, for a maximum length of 30 m, aligned in the desired direction. The marking must commence 3 m past the tow disconnect marking, as shown in Figure 8.75 (2).

       (2) Passenger path markings must be:

(a) marked as a series of white transverse lines, 0.5 m wide, at least 2 m long and 0.5 m apart, as shown in Figure 8.76 (2); or

(b) in accordance with the standards for patterns, colours and dimensions set by the relevant State or Territory roads authority for pedestrian crossing markings, as in force or existing from time to time, provided that the relevant State or Territory standard is referenced in the aerodrome manual.
