1) There shall be a straight tangent section on each leg of an intersection.

2) The length of the tangent on each leg shall be measured from the extension of the curbline of the intersected street.

3) Where streets are not fully improved, tangent length shall be measured in accordance with AASHTO requirements.

1) The designation of primary streets versus secondary streets for intersection design shall be made by the Director.

1) The maximum street grade through intersections and within the landing area (vertical intersection approach as defined below) shall be 5% for the primary street and 2% for the secondary street, or as required to meet ADA and PROWAG standards where applicable.

1) The beginning of secondary street vertical curve at intersections (from the cross-slope of the primary street to the centerline/curb street grade of the secondary street) shall not begin prior to the end of curb radius unless otherwise approved or required by the City Engineer based on detailed drawings showing compliance with all ADA and PROWAG standards.

2) Vertical intersection approaches shall have straight street grades within the limits specified, with no more than a 1% grade break from the adjacent intersection cross slope (street grade break at the curbline extension).

1) A pedestrian street crossing (marked or unmarked as approved by the City) shall be provided for all legal crossing location as required by state law, unless the City Engineer determines that a crossing should not be provided based on consideration of safety and traffic issues. Pedestrian street crossings shall comply with requirements for pedestrian access routes herein and PROWAG standards.

2) Sidewalk access ramps meeting current ADA and PROWAG standards shall be provided at all corners of intersections where crossing is permitted, regardless of curb type (or absence of curb).

3) Street Grades at Pedestrian Crossings. The street cross slope for pedestrian street crossings at intersections shall not exceed 2% maximum at crossings of secondary streets, nor 5% maximum at crossings of primary streets.

4) The pedestrian grade of the pedestrian street crossing (along the pedestrian access route) shall not exceed 5% maximum at any point in the crossing, including at gutter pans.

1) Unless specifically approved in writing by the Director, mid­ block pedestrian street crossings are not permitted.

2) Street Grades at Pedestrian Crossings. Where pedestrian access routes are contained within midblock street crossings, the pedestrian cross slope (cross slope of the pedestrian street crossing) shall be permitted to equal the street grade, unless otherwise required by PROWAG.

3) The pedestrian grade of the midblock pedestrian street crossing (along the pedestrian access route) shall not exceed 5% maximum at any point in the crossing, including at gutter pans.
