Neighborhood Collectors <br />Neighborhood collectors are found only in <br />residential neighborhoods and provide a high <br />degree of access to individual properties. This <br />street type does not apply to commercial and <br />industrial areas, nor to most multifamily residen- <br />tial areas. As a rule, both right-of-way and <br />paving widths are narrower than major collec- <br />tors. Left turn lanes are only infrequently used on <br />neighborhood collectors, and then only at <br />intersections with higher volume streets. Neigh- <br />borhood collectors are required to have side- <br />walks and planting strips. A great deal of flexibil- <br />ity exists for on-street parking on this street type. <br />On most neighborhood collectors, bicycles <br />share the travel lane with other motor vehicles, <br />eliminating the need for striped bicycle lanes. <br />Exceptions to this can occur in situations where <br />traffic volumes or speeds, roadway geometry, or <br />other factors suggest that striped lanes will <br />provide a safer design. Examples of neighbor- <br />hood collectors include Harris Street from 18th to <br />30th, Taney Street from Barger to Marshal I, <br />Brittany Street from 18th to 25th, )eppesen Acres <br />Road from Gilham to Coburg Road, and Monroe <br />Street from 13th to 8th. <br />Monroe 5t. is an example of a <br />Neighborhood CollecCor <br />32 <br />
