          (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
                        Collector Roads 75 metres
                        Distributor Roads 200 metres
                        Arterial Roads 200 metres



    (i)   Kerbs and Channels
          (i)     All kerbs and channels shall comply with the relevant standard drawing.
          (ii)    The minimum grade on any channel shall be 0.5%.
          (iii)   Roadside swale drains are now discouraged in urban environments.
          (iv)    Analysis of the drainage needs shall determine the requirement for vertical faced kerb and channel over lay back kerb
                  and channel.
          (v)     Brass plaque buttons shall be placed in new kerbing to indicate the location and type of the service crossing
                  beneath.

    (j)   Parking – on street and off street
          (i)     The dimensions of parking bays and manoeuvring areas shall be in accordance with the relevant Australian
                  standard.
          (ii)    Wheel stops are not encouraged. Moving the kerb out to the alignment of the vehicle wheels is preferred along with
                  provision of clearances to pedestrians and cyclists.

    (k)   Pavement design
          (i)     The pavement strength for each classification of road is to be designed in accordance with Austroads for minimum
                  traffic volumes outlined in the ‘standards of service’.
          (ii)    Testing shall be carried out in accordance with Department of Transport and Main Roads specifications.
          (iii)   Minimum testing shall be 7 day soaked CBR tests of the subgrade carried out at a minimum of 100 metres intervals
                  and at obvious changes in the nature of the subgrade.
          (iv)    Minimum pavement thicknesses (250mm Urban, 200mm Rural and 150mm Rural access)

    (l)   Asphalt and Bituminous surfacing
          (i)     Asphalt surfacing is required in urban areas and acceptable in rural areas where required.
          (ii)    The minimum compacted thickness of asphalt shall be 30 millimetres except for collector and higher order roads it
                  shall be increased to 45 millimetres.
          (iii)   The specifications for testing, supply and laying shall be carried out in accordance with Department of Transport and
                  Main Roads specifications.

    (m)   Sealed shoulders
          (i)     All rural road classifications shall have sealed shoulders and full width of formation. Where a rural type cross section
                  is permitted in an urban area sealed shoulders shall also be required

    (n)   Cul­de­sac
          (i)     The maximum length of a cul­de­sac is 200 metres. The minimum radius at the head of the cul­de­sac is 9.0 metres
                  to cater for garbage collection vehicles.
          (ii)    The verge width shall be a minimum of 4.0 metres at any point in the cul­de­sac.
