Common use of Street Intersections Clause in Contracts

Street Intersections. (a) Streets shall intersect each other at as nearly right angles as topography and other limiting factors of good design permit. (b) The number of streets converging at one intersection shall not be more than two. (c) The number of intersections along major streets and highways shall be held to a minimum. Wherever practicable the distance between such intersections shall not be less than 1,200 feet. (d) Property lines at street intersections shall be rounded with a minimum radius of 15 feet, except that at all intersections along collector and arterial streets the radius shall be increased to 25 feet. The Plan Commission may require a larger radius where desirable. (e) Local streets shall not necessarily continue across arterial or collector streets, but if the center lines of such minor streets approach the major streets from opposite sides within 150 feet of each other, measured along the center line of the arterial or collector street, then the location shall be so adjusted that the adjoinment across the major or collector street is continuous and a jog is avoided. (f) Radii at the face of curbs at intersections shall be a minimum of 20 feet.
