(a) Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. A proposed intersection of two (2) new streets at an angle within ten (10) degrees of perpendicular is required. An oblique street should be curved approaching an intersection and should be approximately at right angles for at least one hundred (100) feet therefrom. Not more than two (2) streets shall intersect at any one point unless specifically approved by the Planning Commission.
(b) Proposed new intersections along one side of an existing street shall, wherever practical, coincide with any intersections on the opposite side of such street. Street jogs with center-line offsets of less than one hundred and fifty (150) feet shall not be permitted. Where streets intersect major streets, their alignment shall be continuous.
(c) Minimum radius at the intersection of two (2) local streets shall be at least twenty (20) feet; and minimum radius at an intersection involving a collector street shall be at least twenty-five (25) feet. Abrupt changes in alignment within a block shall have the corners cut off in accordance with standard engineering practice to permit safe vehicular movement.
(d) Intersections shall be designed with a flat grade wherever practical. In hilly or rolling areas, at the approach to an intersection, a leveling area shall be provided having not greater than a two percent (2%) slope for a distance of sixty (60) feet, measured from the nearest Right-of-Way line of the intersecting street.
(e) Where any street intersection will involve earth banks or existing vegetation inside any lot corner that could create a traffic hazard by limiting visibility, the developer shall cut such ground and/or vegetation (including trees) in connection with the grading of the public Right-of-Way to the extent deemed necessary to provide an adequate sight distance.
The cross-slopes on all streets, including intersections, shall be three percent
(3%) or less.
