§ 162-18. Street intersections.

A. 

Streets shall be laid out to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. No street shall intersect another at any angle of less than 75°.

B. 

Multiple intersections involving junction of more than two streets shall be avoided. Where this proves impossible, such intersections shall be designed with extreme care for both pedestrian and vehicular safety.

C. 

A clear-sight triangle of 40 feet measured along street lot lines from their point of junction shall be provided at all intersections, and no building shall be permitted within such sight triangles.

D. 

To the fullest extent possible, intersections with major traffic streets shall be located not less than 800 feet apart, measured from center line to center line.

E. 

Streets entering opposite sides of another street shall be laid out either directly opposite one another or with a minimum offset of 125 feet between their center lines.

F. 

Minimum curb radii at street intersections shall be 20 feet for intersections involving only minor streets, 25 feet for intersections involving other type streets or such greater radius as is suited to the specific intersection.

G. 

Where a subdivision abuts or contains an existing street or inadequate right-of-way width, additional right-of-way width in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan will be required.

H. 

Where the grade of any street at the approach to an intersection exceeds 7%, a leveling area shall be provided having not greater than four-percent grades for a distance of 25 feet measured from the nearest right-of-way line of the intersecting street.
