(a) Streets shall be planned for convenient circulation toward the principal directions of travel, bus routes, schools and playgrounds. The pattern shall be continuous, and yet indirect enough to discourage an excess amount of through traffic. On the interior design, T-type intersections shall be predominant, while cross-intersections shall be avoided except at major streets. The street patterns shall include some extensions to the boundaries of the development to provide circulation between adjoining neighborhoods.
(b) Right-of-way widths shall conform to the following minimums:
Classification | Right-of-Way Width (feet) |
Limited access expressway | 200 |
Dual highway | 140 |
Major arterial street | 100 |
Collector street | 80 |
Minor street | 60 |
The aforesaid classifications and widths shall conform to the designation as such contained in the comprehensive plan.
(c) Streets shall intersect each other as nearly at right angles as possible.
(d) New streets shall be a continuation of existing streets or provide a minimum jog of one hundred twenty feet from the existing street alignment.
(e) Cul-de-sac streets shall not be over six hundred feet in length and the terminal shall be a circular area with a minimum diameter of one hundred feet.
