A block shall be so designed as to provide two tiers of lots. A block shall not exceed 1,400 feet in length and shall not be less than 500 feet in length. When a subdivision adjoins a major thoroughfare, the block length, or the greater dimension, shall front along such major thoroughfare to avoid unnecessary ingresses and egresses. The Commission may require that the characteristics of blocks bear close relation to the use of the land. Crosswalks for pedestrian use, having a right-of-way width of ten feet and located approximately in the middle of the block, shall be required where they may be essential for better circulation or for access to schools, playgrounds, shopping centers, transportation depots, or other facilities. The pavement width for such walk shall be five feet. All block corners shall be rounded with a radius of not less than ten feet measured at the back of curbs. Where a radius has been previously established at an intersection, such radius shall be used as a standard for the other corners of the intersection.
