SAFETY DESIGN GUIDE FOR SUBDIVISION AND RESIDENTIAL AREA STREET SYSTEMS

LITTLE HAS BEEN WRITTEN OR FORMALLY DEVELOPED DESCRIBING THOSE FEATURES WHICH ENHANCE THE SAFETY OF THE URBAN STREET SYSTEM AND SPECIFICALLY STREET SYSTEMS WITHIN RESIDENTIAL OR SUBDIVISION AREAS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOKLET IS TO CALL ATTENTION TO SOME OF THESE IMPORTANT BASIC SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS IN SUBDIVISION AND URBAN STREET DESIGN. WHILE IT MUST BE REALIZED THAT THESE ARE NOT THE ONLY CONSIDERATIONS IN URBAN DEVELOPMENT, THEIR IMPORTANCE CANNOT BE OVER EMPHASIZED ENOUGH WHEN ENCOURAGING THE BUILDING OF SAFETY INTO URBAN STREET SYSTEMS. /HSRI/
