NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the Village of Dublin, State of Ohio, 7 of the elected members concurring: SECTION 1. That the text, attached hereto, titled "Dublin Traffic Plan" con- tains the terminQlogy and description of the Villages' roadway network and the I basic design elements for the Villages' street functional classification. SECTION 2. That the Map titled "Village of Dublin, Ohio, Map Street Plan" be and hereby is adopted by this Council as the minimum recQmmended standards for rights-of-way and pavement construction. SECTION 3. That the actual alignment of arterial streets along proposed corri- dors will be determined by engineering feasibility studies of alternate pro- posals or will be determined by land use patterns as they develop. In developed areas where no right-of-way has been acquired for future widening, the stated minimum right-of-way may not apply. Any additional right-of-way and pavement required for such roadway will be determined at the time a roadway improvement is recommended, and on the basis of public concerns. For such road ways the arterial type shall serve as a fURctional classification of the roadwa . SECTION 4. That the Village Administration, the Planning and Zoning Commission the Board of Zoning Appeals or the Council shall cause a review of the arterial and their eonstructioR types to be made at such time as there is belief that living, employment or traffic patterns have changed sufficiently to warrant such, but in no case at longer intervals than four (4) years, and shall submit proposed changes in the form of an amendment to this ordinance. SECTION 5. That this Ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and afte the earliest period allowed by law. Passed this /S-flday of J/PII~M!J..r , 1982.

Its function is to link major traffic generators and provide continuity with the rural and urban freeway system. Principal Arterials The primary function of principal arterials is to move large volumes of traffic between major centers of activity. Its secondary function is to serve adjacent properties, however, this should be minimized so as not to materially disrupt flow of traffic. Additionally, it serves as feeder to the I freeway system. Minor Arterials The primary function of minor arterials is to provide for move- ment of through traffic with the secondary function to pro- vide access to abutting lands. . l- . , ~ Minor arterials are fed traffic by collectors and other minor arterial streets and in turn feed principal arterials or free- ways. In order to properly perform the primary functions they are normally spaced about one (1) mile apart and intercept I collector streets at intermediate points. Ideally they pro- vide continuity of travel routes and are relatively straight roadways so as to encourage usage by through traffic. Minor arterial traffic is given preferential traffic control treatment by stopping streets of lesser importance. Traffic signals also would favor the arterial street so as to mini- mize stoppage. Intersecting collector streets should junc- tion with the arterials at 1/4 mile increments so as to favor future traffic signal networks. Collector The service function of collector streets is to collect traffic from local streets and distribute this traffic to the higher classified roadways. It equally serves to move traffic and provide access to abutting lands. Tra ffic con- trols would favor this street over local streets. I Local The main function of local streets is to provide access to abutting lands. It serves to feed the collectors and minor arterials. Through traffic is discouraged on this type of street. Street Design Elements Spacing Between Street Classifications In order to provide for equal distribution of traffic in a suburban area the approximate spacing of the various classi- fication of streets (distance between similar type streets) has generally been found to be the most effective as follows: I .- , Freeways 2 - 6 Miles Principal Arterials 1 - 2 ttiles Minor Arterials 1 - 2 Miles Collector 1/2 - 1 Mile Local 1/2 - 1/10 Mile _~J.. ~ . . . ., Basic Design Element for Street Functional Classification Minimum 8' Shoulders & Right-of-Way r unc ti onal Number Pavement 2' Curbs & Gutter 4:1 Back Slope Width Classi fication of Lanes Width and 12' Border Area 2 root Side Ditches Required I Principal 7* 84' 28' -- 112' Arterial 7* 84' -- 44' 128' 5* 60' 28' -- 88' 5* 60' -- 44' 104' Minor Arterial 4 45' 28' -- 80' 4 45' -- 44' 100' Collector 2 36' 28' -- 60' Parking both sides 2 24' -- 44' 64' Local 2 32' 28' -- 60' Parking both sides 2** 22' 28' -- 50' 2 22' -- 44' 66' *Includes Center Left Turn Lane. *"'Requires approval of Planning and Zoning Commission Design Pavement Widths I The design width of various types of roadways is dependent upon the roadway capacity requirements. One of the para- meters in selecting the street classification is traffic volumes which in turn directly influences the number of lanes and right-of-way widths. Border Areas The border area is defined as the area in back of the curb or pavement edge to the right-of-way line. This would in- clude the grassed area between the pavement and sidewalk. In undeveloped areas the desirable area width would be 10-12 feet. This area would provide for a utility strip, sidewalk, bikeway (additional 8-12') and an area for sign installations. In locations where curb and gutter require- ments have been waived, then 8 foot berms and ditches would be utilized requiring a border area of approximately 22 feet de- I pendent upon the topography. ,
