THE LAYOUT OF ROADS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS

In the report guidance is given on the development of residential estates, the objectives which the layout should achieve, and basic highway criteria against which schemes are assessed. The report concentrates on a re-appraisal of road and pavement standards and aims to set out a revised philosophy on residential road design. These designs are intended to lead to more environmentally acceptable schemes and to create conditions of greater safety in housing areas. (TRRL)
