d) incorporates street junctions and access to
lots that are located and spaced to facilitate
safe and convenient vehicle movements;
e) provides for street widths and lengths that
optimise the cost effectiveness of the network
and the provision of public utilities;

between vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists;
