Arterial Streets <br />Note: <br />The purpose of the following street cross- <br />section drawings in this chapter is to (1) <br />establish maximum right-of-way widths for the <br />various street types, and (2) to provide illustra- <br />tive examples of the ways that various design <br />elements can be combined to respond to the <br />variety of constraints and circumstances of <br />any particular Street. Please refer to the <br />section Application of Design Standards on <br />page 41 for a more complete explanation as to <br />how the standards are used in various situa- <br />tions. <br />Arterial streets primarily function to serve a high <br />degree of vehicular mobility. They may also serve a <br />minor role in providing land access. The functional <br />nature of arterial streets dictates that typical design <br />standards limit parking and land access to improve <br />traffic capacity for through vehicles. <br />Arterial Street Subclassifications <br />There are two subclassifications of urban arterial <br />streets in Eugene: major arterials and minor arteri- <br />als. Because of similarities. between how the two <br />streets function, their design standards are similar. <br />' ~ ~ ~ • Figure 35 <br /> ROW * Paving Setback Planting Typical <br />Type of Street Width Width Sidewalks Strip Medians Bike Lanes ADT "* <br /> 2Q5' 2C~9'-6" 2@5' <br />Major Arterials -- 100' to 120' 68' to 94' Minimum Minimum Varies Minimum > 20,000 <br /> 2 Q 5' 2 @ 8'-6" 2 C~ 5' 7,500 to <br />Minor Arterials -~- 65' to 100' 34' to 70' Minimum Minimum Varies Minimum 20,000 <br />• Right-of-Way `" Average Daily Traffic <br /> • ~ • ~ ~ ~ Fi <br />ure 36 <br />~ ~ g <br />°~ ~. ~ . <br /> ~ ~ ~ ~ <br /> 12' to 16' <br /> 23'to 34' Median 23'to 34' <br />5' 2to3 2to3 5' <br />9~-6~~ Bike Vehicle Lanes Vehicle Lanes Bike 9'-6" <br />6' Planting Lane Lane planting 6' <br />Sidewalk" Strip"' 68'to 94' Strip"" Sidewalk" <br /> Curb to Curb <br /> 100' to 120' I <br /> Rig ht-of-Way <br />97 <br />
