An industrial street distributes traffic between major manufactures and industrial type entities such as in an industrial park. The industrial street's purpose is primarily to promote free traffic flow. Thus, direct access for adjoining lots should be limited where possible. Industrial streets should not be used for on-street parking and may provide linkages to adjoining developments to improve vehicle circulation.
DESIGN ELEMENTS FOR INDUSTRIAL STREETS | DIMENSIONS IN FEET OR PERCENT |
Minimum Right-of-Way : | 60' |

*No Parking Permitted* | |
Maximum Grade | 4.00% |
Maximum Grade within 50 feet of an Intersection | 3% |
Minimum Grade | 0.5% |
Minimum Radius of Centerline | 575' * |
Minimum Tangent Length Between Reverse Curves | 250' * |
Minimum Curb Radii | 100' * |
Minimum Stopping Distance | 400' |
Minimum Grassed Area Between Sidewalk and Curb | 6' |
* The above noted radii and tangents may be increased upon recommendation of the Village Engineer.
(a) The design and construction of industrial streets will allow for the free movement and flow of large commercial vehicles. Generous turn and intersection radii and tangent lengths will be provided so as to permit the operation of the largest types of commercial vehicles without the necessity of the vehicle encroaching into the oncoming lane or lanes of traffic.
(b) The corner blend radii at intersection points of newly constructed streets, renovated streets, or of private access roads intersecting with Village streets will allow the types of vehicles that are expected to use the intersection, at present or in the future, to make a right turn without projecting into an oncoming lane or center turn lane, or damaging the curbing or blend area.
