Standards for secondary arterials are as follows:

A. Function. To collect and distribute traffic from primary arterials to less important streets or directly to secondary traffic generators such as high schools, middle schools, major parks, multiple residence areas, hospitals, major recreation areas, the civic field and similar uses;

B. Right-of-Way. Sixty feet minimum, with 80 feet desirable;

C. Driving Lanes. Twenty-eight feet minimum, with 38 feet desirable plus eight-foot parking on both sides;

D. Design Standard. Concrete curbs and gutters and storm drainage to be provided. Curb cuts to vegetated LID facilities are permitted where feasible. “Feasible” means the design criteria, limitations, and infeasibility criteria for each LID BMP as described in the Ecology Manual;

E. Median. None required;

F. Sidewalks. Five-foot minimum width on both sides;

G. Access Conditions. Intersection at grade with direct access to adjacent property;

H. Traffic Features. Traffic signals at major intersections; pedestrian crosswalks at grade; possible parking restrictions if traffic volume warrants;

I. Planning Features. Secondary arterials will seldom be located closer than one-half mile from a primary or other secondary arterials. It is desirable to bypass major shopping areas and parks; secondary arterials should never be adjacent to elementary schools or areas of high pedestrian traffic.
