7-1-5-1: GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA:
The fundamental approach to street design presented herein is to first identify the design speed the facility is to accommodate and the nominal vehicle type which is to govern the design. Designing is then accomplished by selection of appropriate characteristics to accommodate the design vehicle at the design speed in a safe and efficient manner at reasonable cost on a durable street. Table 7-A, "Summary Of Road Design Elements", of this section summarizes criteria considered minimum in village of Angel Fire for various classifications of streets. Design speeds given are intended to establish levels to which facilities are to be designed; posted legal speeds are established only after appropriate examination of the completed street by the village public works director.
