Section 13-107 HIGHWAYS, STREETS AND ROADS

In designing a highway, street or road system, the subdivider shall
be guided by the following principles:

(1)    Adequate vehicular and pedestrian access shall be provided to
all parcels.

(2)    Local residential street systems shall be designed to minimize
through traffic movement.

(3)    Local street patterns shall provide reasonable direct access to
the primary circulation system.

(4)    Local circulation systems and land development patterns shall
not conflict with the efficiency of bordering arterial routes.

(5)    Elements in the local circulation system should be designed with
the least amount of interruptions possible in order to function effectively
and safely.

(6)    Traffic generators within residential areas shall be considered
in the design of the circulation pattern.

(7)    Planning and construction of residential streets shall clearly
relate to their local function.

(8)    Local streets shall be designed to discourage excessive speeds.

(9)    Pedestrian-vehicular conflict points shall be minimized.

(10)    The space devoted to street uses shall be minimized.

(11)    The number of intersections shall be minimized.

(12)    Local streets shall be related to topography.

(13)    Whenever practical, provisions for transit service within resi-
dential areas should be established with a stopping lane ten (10) feet wide
by at least one hundred (100) feet long on the near side of intersections.

(14)    Highways, streets, and roads shall be suitably located, of suffi-
cient width, adequately improved to accommodate the prospective traffic
and afford access to police, fire fighting, or road maintenance equipment.

(15)    Trees shall be an integral part of street right-of-way improve-
ments UNLESS LOCATED ON ADJACENT LOTS AND SHALL BE
OF THE PROPER SPECIES SO AS NOT TO DAMAGE STREETS,
CURBS OR SIDEWALKS.

(16)    Street design, right-of-way and paving shall be in accordance
with these regulations and the Anne Arundel County Design Manual.
