18.06.010: STREET CLASSIFICATIONS, TYPES AND DESIGNATIONS:

   A.   Street Classification: Streets within the city are classified as arterials, collectors or local. Each street classification is described in the following table:

 

Street Type	Arterial	Collector	Local

Access control	Partially controlled	Limited to abutting lots not fronting on local streets	Relatively unlimited
Typical daily volume	Over 10,000	500 to 2,000	Under 1,000
Managed speed	25 - 55 mph	20 - 35 mph	20 - 25 mph

 

A street's classification may be revised if the typical daily volume changes over time or may be revised based on reasonable anticipated uses which would use the street.

   B.   Street Type: Streets within the city are categorized as business, residential or transition. A street's type may be revised if the zoning changes over time or may be revised based on reasonable anticipated zoning changes.

   C.   Street Designations: Streets within the city may be designated as truck routes, school connections or bicycle corridors. A street's designation may be revised if the city of Hailey transportation master plan (TMP) changes over time or may be revised based on reasonable anticipated changes to the TMP.

   D.   Special Designations:

      1.   Bicycle Corridors:

         a.   The streets designated as bicycle corridor streets provide connection to other bicycle facilities, are preferred routes for bicyclists or provide connection to destinations such as a park, school, other neighborhoods or a commercial area. These streets should be improved with a sharrow or bicycle lane and signed as bicycle routes as funds become available and allocated by council.

         b.   Signed bicycle routes:

            (1) Bicycle corridors should be signed as bicycle routes when the following criteria are met:

   (A) Shoulder or lane widths meet or exceed minimum shared lane widths;

   (B) Street parking has been removed or restricted in areas of limited width to provide improved safety for bicyclists; and

   (C) A smooth surface has been provided, including, but not limited to, bicycle safe drainage grates and potholes filled.

            (2) Signs should be placed every five hundred meters (500 m) (1/4 mile), at every turn and at signalized intersections.

            (3) Signs shall meet MUTCD standards and include supplemental destination plates, to inform cyclists of route continuity and major destinations and attractions, such as "To Downtown".

            (4) Sharrow pavement markings should be applied to the pavement at reasonable intervals.

      2.   Transition Blocks: The half block between residential and business zoning of the streets identified in the table in this section, are transition blocks, except if located within the historic sidewalk district. Consideration should be given to vary the design of infrastructure projects to best match the design on either side of the transition block.

      3.   Wood River Trail Crossings: Street design adjacent to the Wood River Trail crossing should transition to sidewalks with curb and gutter at the edge of the travel lane. Width of sidewalk in the transition to the Wood River Trail crossing should increase to a minimum of eight feet (8').

      4.   Historic Sidewalk District: The blocks within the original Hailey Townsite identified on figure 2 of this section are included in the historic sidewalk district. The city should plan for the connection of the sidewalks in the historic sidewalk district through the corners and plan for the maintenance of these sidewalks to eliminate hazards and keep the pedestrian zone clear of encroaching vegetation.

   E.   Table: The following table lists the classification, type and designation of each street within the city. Figure 1 of this section is a map of these classifications and types with transition blocks shown. Figure 2 of this section is a map of designations with the historic sidewalk district shown.
