§ 82-176. Intersections.

Intersections of new streets in a subdivision shall comply with the following standards:

(1)

Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles. An oblique street should be curved approaching an intersection and should be approximately at right angles.

(2)

Proposed new intersections along one side of an existing street shall coincide, wherever practicable, with any existing intersections on the opposite side of such street. Jogs within streets having centerline offsets of less than 75 feet will not be permitted.

(3)

Minimum surface edge radius at the intersection of two streets shall be 30 feet.

(4)

Where a street intersection will involve earth banks or existing vegetation inside any lot corner that would create a traffic hazard by limiting visibility, the subdivider shall cut such ground or vegetation (including trees) in connection with the grading of the street right-of-way to the extent necessary to provide adequate sight distance.

(5)

Intersections shall be designed with a maximum six percent grade on the intersecting street.
