a. Street width transitions from a narrower width to a wider width shall be designed with a 10:1 taper. Delineators, as approved by the City, shall be installed to mark the edges of the transition.

b. Street width transitions from one width to a narrower width, or lane alignment transitions shall be designed with the length of transition taper as follows:

L=SxW

Where:

L = minimum length of taper (feet) S = Designated Speed (MPH)

W = EP to EP offset width (EP - Edge of Pavement)

c. Delineators, as approved by the City, may be installed to define the configuration. Maximum spacing of delineators shall be the numerical value of the design speed, in feet (i.e. 35 foot spacing 35 MPH).

d. In situations where a tapered transition cannot be provided, a barricade shall be installed at the end of the wider section of the street and a taper shall be appointed and delineated as approved by the City. The barricade shall conform to MUTCD Standards.
