Latest version.
  • Intersections of major streets by other streets shall be at least 800 feet apart, if possible. Cross (four-cornered) street intersections shall be avoided insofar as possible, except at important traffic intersections. A distance of at least 150 feet shall be maintained between offset intersections. Within 40 feet on an intersection, streets shall be approximately at right angles, and grades shall be limited to 1 1/2%. All street intersection corners shall be rounded by curves of at least 25 feet in radius at the property line. Within triangular areas formed by the intersecting street lines, for a distance of 15 feet from their intersection and the diagonals connecting the end points of these lines, visibility for traffic safety shall be provided by excavating, if necessary. Nothing in the way of fences, walls, hedges or other landscaping shall be permitted to obstruct such visibility.
