        (h)   Bus stops
        (i)   Footpaths
        (j)   Service Utilities allocations
        (k)   Landscaping
        (l)   Roadside drainage
        (m)   Verges
        (n)   Maintenance requirements at the top and toe of earthworks cut and fill batters.

 (2)    No generic standard cross section can convey the individual needs of each road classification for all circumstances.


 SC6.7.5              Specific Design and Construction Requirements

 (1)    Road infrastructure is to be in accordance with manuals nominated in the document precedence order.
        (a)   Traffic Lanes
              (i)     Lateral clearance requirements specified in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices or Austroads may increase
                      the minimum traffic lane widths in the ‘desired level of service’.

        (b)   Superelevation and Curve Widening
              (i)     Provide superelevation on all Arterial roads. Superelevation is not desirable in urban areas on Local, Collector and
                      Distributor roads.
              (ii)    Curve widening is required on rural roadway classifications. For urban turning roadway widths are to comply with
                      Austroads.

        (c)   Pavement crossfall
              (i)     The desirable minimum crossfall for roads and streets is 3.0%. At intersections, the maximum is 6% and the
                      minimum is 1%.

        (d)   Horizontal and vertical curves
              (i)     Horizontal and vertical curves shall meet Austroads – Guide to Road Design standards.

        (e)   Maximum and Minimum gradients
              (i)     Maximum and minimum gradients shall comply with Austroads. Austroads relates gradient to topography and speed
                      rather than road classification.

        (f)   Design speed for roadways
              (i)     The design speed for all roadway classification equals the posted speed plus 10km/hr, unless the 85TH percentile
                      information can be obtained by traffic survey.

        (g)   Offset crown in roadways
              (i)     An Offset crown is permitted on two­way roads subject to thorough investigation into the drainage flow widths and the
                      potential effects on driver behaviour.

        (h)   Intersections
              (i)     All intersections including roundabouts shall be designed in accordance with Austroads standards and recognise
                      projected traffic volumes to determine the configuration of lanes and channelisation.
              (ii)    Cross intersections are not encouraged.
              (iii)   ‘T’ intersection angles should be 90 degrees where possible with 80 degrees being the absolute minimum.
              (iv)    The spacing between two intersections measured along the centreline of the through road between the centrelines
                      of the side roads, should be not less than the following—
                      (A)   Side roads on opposite sides of the through road:

                            Local Roads 40­45 metres (at Council’s discretion depending on the service load)
                            Collector Roads 75 metres
                            Distributor Roads 200 metres (Unless median is broken)
                            Arterial Roads 200 metres (Unless median is broken)
                      (B)   Side roads on the same side of the through road:

                            Local Roads 75 metres
