LOCAL STREET CROSS-SECTIONS Figure 5.5. Local Street – Rural Cross-Section
The cross-section of a rural local street provides 24 feet of pavement for two travel lanes. Additional two-foot wide concrete ribbons run along both outside edges of the travel lanes and are part of the parkway. The width of the travel lanes and concrete ribbons provide room for on-street parking while still maintaining traffic flow on these relatively low-volume streets. Depending on the adjacent land uses, sidewalks or trails may be provided in the 13-foot wide parkway. If a trail is required, additional right-of-way or an easement will be needed.
Figure 5.6. Local Street – Urban Cross-Section
The cross-section of an urban local street provides 28 feet of pavement from face of curb to face of curb for two travel lanes. The 28-foot width provides room for some on-street parking while still maintaining traffic flow on these relatively low-volume streets. Within the 11-foot parkways, there is room for a sidewalk or possibly a trail. If a trail is required, and there is not sufficient right-ofway, additional right-of-way or an easement will be needed.
