2-11.7 ROADS

A. Road Layout and Geometry. The design, arrangement and construction of all roads, public and private, shall be in conformance with the road standards, the provision of this chapter, and Town Design Guidelines as adopted. 1) The arrangement of roads shall provide for the continuation of major roads between adjacent properties when the continuation is necessary for the convenient movement of traffic, emergency or maintenance vehicles, or the efficient provision of utilities. 2) Proposed streets shall be continuous and in alignment with existing planned or platted streets with which they are to connect. 3) Roads shall be designed to provide emergency access and egress for residents, occupants and emergency equipment providing width, curve radii and strength for emergency and maintenance vehicles used by or available to the Town. 4) Where the potential traffic impacts on the existing street systems are considered to be great, or in the case of unique circumstances concerning topography or neat layout, or at the request of the Town, the sub-divider may be required to prepare a detailed engineering traffic study of the road system. 5) Proposed streets shall intersect one another as nearly at right angles as topography and other limiting factors of good design permit. “T” intersections rather than “cross” intersections shall be used wherever possible for local streets. 6) Where a road does not extend to the boundary of the development and its continuation is not required, its terminus should be no closer than fifty (50) feet from the boundary.
