(A) The design of the internal road circulation system shall incorporate the use of three-way or “T” intersections, wherever possible, to assure added safety.
(B) Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. A proposed intersection of two new streets at an angle of less than 75 degrees shall not be acceptable. Not more than two streets shall intersect at any one point unless specifically approved by the Planning Commission.
(C) Proposed new intersections along one side of an existing street shall, wherever practicable, coincide with any existing intersection on the opposite side of such street. Street jogs with centerline offsets of less than 150 feet shall not be permitted. Where streets intersect major streets, their alignment shall be continuous. Intersections of major streets shall be at least 800 feet apart.
(D) The minimum curb radius at the intersection of two local streets shall be at least 20 feet, and the minimum curb radius at an intersection involving a collector street shall be at least 25 feet.
(E) Intersections shall be designed with a flat grade wherever practicable. In hilly or rolling areas, at the approach to an intersection, a leveling area shall be provided having not greater than a 2% grade at a distance of 60 feet, measured from the nearest right-of-way line of the intersecting street.
(F) Where any street intersection will involve earth banks or existing vegetation inside any lot corner that would create a traffic hazard by limiting visibility, the developer shall clear out such ground, and/or vegetation (including trees) in connection with the grading of the public right-of-way to the extent deemed necessary by the City Engineer to provide adequate sight distance.
(G) The cross-slopes on all streets, including intersections, shall be 3% or less.
