25.3.6 Culverts. Culverts shall be provided to carry all surface water under roads. The<br />

applicant shall provide engineering hydraulic calculations to justify the locations and<br />

sizes of the proposed culverts. The minimum inside diameter of culverts shall be 15<br />

inches or the equivalent pipe arch where head room is restricted. The culvert shall have<br />

a minimum of 12 inches of cover under the cartway. Culverts shall be designed for a<br />

minimum of 10 (ten) year storm frequency, and will be sized to carry the design flow<br />

based on inlet or outlet conditions, whichever governs. The inlets and outlets shall be<br />

designed and constructed with due consideration to storm water management and to<br />

minimize erosion.<br />

25.3.7 Grades. The maximum grade shall be 15% measured along the centerline.<br />

25.3.7.1 The maximum grade across the turnaround in a cul-de-sac shall be 0.5<br />

inches per foot in any direction.<br />

25.3.7.2 Intersections shall be approached on all sides by leveling areas. Such<br />

leveling areas shall have a minimum length of 50 feet measured from the<br />

intersection of the centerline, within which no grade shall exceed a maximum<br />

of 5%.<br />

25.3.8 Sight Distance. Measured along the centerline from height of eye of 3.75 feet to height<br />

of object of 0.5 feet, sight distance in both directions with respect to any new private<br />

street intersection with another street shall be a minimum of 200 feet, except along State<br />

highways where Pennsylvania Department of Transportation criteria shall apply.<br />

25.3.9 Horizontal Curves. Whenever street lines are deflected from each other by more than 5<br />

degrees, the centerlines shall be connected with a curve having a minimum radius of 100<br />

feet. A minimum tangent of 50 feet shall be required between a curve and a street<br />

intersection. To the greatest extent possible, combinations of the minimum radius and<br />

maximum grade shall be avoided.<br />

shall intersect another at an angle of less than 70 degrees.<br />

25.3.11.3 Streets intersecting another street shall either intersect directly opposite each<br />

other or shall be separated by at least 150 feet between centerlines<br />

measured along the centerline of the street being intersected.<br />
