§ 153.062 DESIGNING INTERSECTIONS.
   (A)   No more than two streets shall intersect at any one point.
   (B)   Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles.
      (1)   In no case shall two streets intersect at an angle of less than 75 degrees.
      (2)   An oblique street shall be curved as it approaches an intersection so that it is approximately at right angles with the intersection for a distance of at least 100 feet therefrom, unless the subdivider's engineer recommends, and the City Engineer concurs, that a lesser distance would be in accordance with safe and accepted traffic engineering practices.
   (C)   Proposed new intersections along one side of an existing street shall, wherever practicable, align with any existing intersection on the opposite side of the street.
      (1)   Offset intersections of less than 150 feet shall not be permitted, except where the intersected street has divided lanes without median breaks at either intersection.
      (2)   Intersections involving collector or arterial streets shall be at least 500 feet apart.
   (D)   Returns at intersections shall be made concentric and shall be rounded by a radius of not less than 20 feet at the right-of-way line, and not less than 30 feet at the back of curb line.
   (E)   All street intersections shall be built in such a way that whenever practical, the cross-slopes thereon do not exceed 3%.
   (F)   The approach to an intersection shall be designed and built so that for a distance of at least 75 feet from the centerline of the intersection the grade does not exceed 3%.
   (G)   Earth banks or existing vegetation over 3.5 feet tall within the intersection site triangular depicted herein on the standard specification plan sheets shall be removed within the public right-of-way.
