(A) Street curbs shall be rounded by radii of sufficient length to permit the smooth flow of traffic, but in no case shall the curb radii be less than 25 feet for a minor street, or 40 feet for a major street or a street in a commercial or industrial development. Greater radii may be required by the Town Engineer's Office to comply with AASHTO and INDOT design guidelines.
(B) Where a proposed street with curbs intersects an existing street without curbs, the curb radius shall be designed so there is a minimum of 10 feet separation between the curb and edge of the existing street pavement.
(C) Street right-of-way at intersections shall be designed to provide a minimum of 10 feet separation between the street right-of-way and curb.
(D) Intersections shall be as nearly at right angles as is possible, and no intersection shall be at an angle of less than 75%.
(E) Intersections of more than 2 streets at 1 point shall not be permitted. An example of this would be a “5-points” intersection.
(F) When a street of lesser functional classification intersects with a street of greater functional classification the radii arcs at the intersection will comply with the standards for the street of greater functional classification.
(G) There shall be at least 100 feet of straight street before entering an intersection for proposed streets.
(H) The placement of a driveway which is located near a street intersection shall be based on sound engineering design.
(I) Street intersections shall not be closer than 200 feet center line to center line for minor streets and 500 feet center line to center line for a major street. Traffic volume forecasts may require that these distances be increased for a given project so as to allow for adequate vehicle storage in turn lanes.
(J) When a street of lesser functional classification intersects with a street of greater functional classification, the pavement thickness of all improvements within the right-of-way of the intersection shall comply with the standard for the greater street.
