(A) Collector streets shall be designed and laid out in accordance to § 154.122 of this chapter. The function of collector streets is to collect local traffic and move it conveniently and directly to the nearest major streets or neighborhood facilities (schools, churches, shopping and the like). The access to a collector street should be limited to local streets. The design travel speed for collector streets shall be between 30 to 40 mph.
(B) The specific requirements are as follows.
(1) Collectors should be spaced approximately one-fourth a mile apart.
(2) Residential driveways generally should not be allowed to enter directly onto collector streets.
(3) Collector streets shall be provided with ten-foot crosswalks at reasonable intervals.
(4) Setback on all collector streets shall be increased over minimum zoning district setbacks in relation to the traffic volume anticipated.
(5) Four-foot sidewalks shall be required at least on one side of urban collector streets, and where required by the corporate authority may be required on both sides.
(6) Where parking and driveway entrances are necessary along collector streets the pavement width shall not be less than 40 feet. Where no lots face collector streets, the pavement width may be reduced to 36 feet or less, depending on the density of adjoining development.
(7) Access controls may be required on highly traveled collectors.
