§ 395-28. Intersections.  


Latest version.
  • A. 
    Streets shall intersect as nearly as possible at right angles, and no street shall intersect another at an angle of less than 75° (measured at the intersection of the street center lines) nor more than 105°. The angle of intersection with an arterial street shall be 90°.
    B. 
    No more than two streets geometrically shall intersect at the same point.
    C. 
    Streets intersecting another street shall either intersect directly opposite to each other or be separated by at least 150 feet between center lines, measured along the center line of the street being intersected.
    D. 
    Intersections shall be approached on all sides by a straight area at least 50 feet in length, the grade of which shall not exceed 5% within 50 feet of the intersection of the nearest right-of-way lines.
    E. 
    Intersections with arterial streets shall be located not less than 500 feet apart, measured from center line to center line along the center line of the arterial streets.
    F. 
    Street curb intersections shall be rounded by a tangential arc with a minimum radius of:
    (1) 
    Ten feet for all intersections involving only minor streets or service streets;
    (2) 
    Fifteen feet for all intersections involving a collector street;
    (3) 
    Twenty feet for all intersections involving an arterial street.
    G. 
    Street right-of-way lines shall be parallel to (concentric with) curb arcs at intersections.
