These Transportation Design Standards are intended to provide for an integrated transportation system for all transportation modes, including pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and motor vehicle. The purpose of these standards is to regulate new development and redevelopment of previously developed sites within the corporate limits of the City of Asheville.
These Transportation Design Standards are intended to address the design of the following components of the City of Asheville transportation system:
∙
Streets
∙
Street Types Defined
∙
Street Width and Curbing Design
∙
Street Geometric Design
∙
Sight Distance Requirements
∙
Driveways
∙
Sidewalks
∙
Bicycle Facilities
∙
Off-Street Path Systems
∙
Transit Facilities
Streets are the most important part of Asheville’s transportation system. Ideal street design must accommodate all modes of transportation (motor vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit), although there are certain street classes, such as alleys, that have specialized purposes. Residential streets should provide connectivity while discouraging high-speed cut-through traffic.
The standards in this section are required for new public and private streets constructed within the corporate limits of the City of Asheville.
