2. Location The centerline of a proposed street shall be positioned on the center of the pavement width. 3. Radii For all local residential streets, the minimum centerline radius is 100 feet. This standard is set to keep the design speed consistent, as well as to provide safety. Exceptions may be allowed for access lanes and low volume streets in the following situations: 1. To facilitate traffic calming, 2. To connect the proposed street to other developments, 3. To protect natural resources, 4. When there are no alternate property configuration designs available (long or odd -shaped parcels) which would maximize development area by increasing lot frontage or achieving density goals. For a centerline radius shorter, than 100 feet, traffic calming features such as signing, striping, and traffic markers may be required. Parking on curves with less than 100 -foot centerline radius is prohibited. E. Crosswalks Crosswalk markings indicate to pedestrians the appropriate routes across traffic, facilitate crossing by the visually impaired, and remind drivers of potential conflicts with pedestrians. Locating crosswalks shall be as follows (see Section 2.07 Traffic Control Devices and Standard Drawings for marking details): 1. Crosswalks at signalized intersections shall be marked. 2. Crosswalks at un -signalized intersections may be marked under the following conditions: a. At complex intersections to orient pedestrians. b. At offset intersections to show pedestrians the shortest route across traffic with the least exposure to vehicular traffic and traffic conflicts. c. At intersections with visibility constraints to position pedestrians where they can best be seen by on -coming traffic. d. At pedestrian crossing islands. 3. Crosswalks on designated school routes shall be the "Continental" type. In Public Improvement Design Standards Manual, 2016 Page 2-18
