PREFACEThis document is intended to establish design and construction requirements for thepreparation and submittal <strong>of</strong> Infrastructure Improvement plans for subdivision and otherland development projects within the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong> and its ExtraterritorialJurisdiction (ETJ). The designing engineer on any project should use judgment andexperience to determine any additional information that may be necessary for review.The <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong> Public Works Department will use these standards, as well assound engineering principles, to review the detailed engineering drawings. All engineersare encouraged to use these standards in the preliminary layout <strong>of</strong> any development tominimize revisions.The standards set forth herein apply to all development within the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong>and all development within the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong>. Thestandards may also apply to development outside the ETJ in cases where, NCDOT andthe <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong> agree that it would be advantageous for development to beconstructed under these standards.It is recommended that any individual using this document contact the Public WorksDepartment annually for revised versions. Updates shall be reprinted in their entirety.Updates will not be sent out in loose-leaf form.

STREETDESIGN STANDARDSGENERAL:For approval <strong>of</strong> street design, a North Carolina Registered Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Engineer mustseal all construction plans and revisions submitted to the Engineering Division <strong>of</strong> thePublic Works Department, with the exception that the <strong>Town</strong> will accept for approval,street designs sealed by a North Carolina Registered Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Land Surveyor inthose circumstances allowed by North Carolina General Statutes. A digital copy indrawing file (*.dwg) format <strong>of</strong> the “Record Drawing” <strong>of</strong> the development must besubmitted before final acceptance and maintenance <strong>of</strong> any streets and storm drainagesystems. The digital files must be tied to the State Plane Coordinate System using two<strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong> or NCGS Monuments.All proposed public streets shall be designed to become part <strong>of</strong> the overall street systemand be identified as such on all adopted plans. All streets and roads shall align withother designated roadways for continuity in the <strong>Town</strong>'s street system.All single family residential subdivisions shall be accessed by public streets exceptthose wherein private streets have been approved in accordance with the provision <strong>of</strong>the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).Dedication <strong>of</strong> additional right-<strong>of</strong>-ways, easements, construction <strong>of</strong> turn-lanes, roadwaywidening, or other improvements to existing public streets upon which the propertyfronts or which provide access to new developments may be required as provided for inthe UDO. In some cases the proposed development may be adjacent to roadways,utilities, drainage systems, etc. in which, a large scale infrastructure improvementproject may be needed. In such cases, the <strong>Town</strong> may elect to collect a fee "In-lieu-<strong>of</strong>Infrastructure Improvements" to be used on a larger scale improvement project adjacentto the development. This process is encouraged on high volume roads where smallpiecemeal improvements may result in poor construction methods, ride quality, andexcessive inconvenience to the motoring public.CORRELATION, INTERPRETATION AND ORDER OF PRECEDENCE:If there be any conflicting term or requirements between this manual and the UDO theUDO shall govern.The latest revision <strong>of</strong> the "NCDOT Standard <strong>Specifications</strong> for Roads and Structures"and the "NCDOT <strong>Design</strong> Manual" shall apply to all roadway and storm drainageconstruction unless otherwise specified herein this manual.


SURETIES OR IMPROVEMENT GUARANTEES:Prior to the recording <strong>of</strong> any plat, all improvements required by this Manual and theUDO shall be completed or the remaining improvements secured by a surety approvedand accepted by the <strong>Town</strong> Manager; the surety shall be a performance bond providedby a certified surety company authorized to issue bonds in North Carolina; anIrrevocable Letter <strong>of</strong> Credit provided from a bank insured by the FDIC; or cash. If thesurety is a guarantee other than cash, the Letter <strong>of</strong> Credit or bonding instrument mustbe readily convertible into cash, payable to the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong> at face value uponthe <strong>Town</strong>'s request. Prior to recording the Plat, the developer shall contact the PlanningDepartment and request an estimate for bonding purposes. If any work has beencompleted and paid for prior to recording the plat, the developer shall providedocumentation that work-to-date has been paid in full.Refer to Appendix 4 for the administrative procedures regarding the submittal <strong>of</strong>sureties.In no case shall the duration <strong>of</strong> the financial guarantee exceed two (2) years, unlesssaid guarantee is extended with the consent <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> Manager.All developments whose public improvements are not completed and accepted thirty(30) days prior to the expiration <strong>of</strong> the financial guarantee shall be considered in default.Upon default, the surety company or financial institution holding the escrow accountshall pay to the <strong>Town</strong>, all or any portion <strong>of</strong> the bond or escrow amount deemednecessary by the <strong>Town</strong> to complete all or any portion <strong>of</strong> the required improvements,including administration cost incurred by the <strong>Town</strong>. The <strong>Town</strong> shall complete theproject, or a portion there<strong>of</strong>, using the guaranteed funds. The <strong>Town</strong> shall return anyfunds not spent in completing the improvements.Default on a project does not release the developer from the liability he has or may haveincurred during the performance <strong>of</strong> work prior to the default or the responsibility forpayment <strong>of</strong> items that may exceed the current surety being held by the <strong>Town</strong>.See Horizontal Street <strong>Design</strong> for bonding <strong>of</strong> improvements to property lines whereexisting topography prevents construction without encroachment on others.DEDICATION AND ACCEPTANCE:A. Right-<strong>of</strong>-Ways and EasementsThe recordation <strong>of</strong> a properly executed final plat constitutes dedication to the<strong>Town</strong> the right-<strong>of</strong>-ways <strong>of</strong> each public street and all easements as proposed onthe final plat. The approval and recordation <strong>of</strong> a final plat does not constituteacceptance <strong>of</strong> maintenance responsibility within such right-<strong>of</strong>-way or easement.Improvements within such right-<strong>of</strong>-way or easements, such as street paving,drainage facilities or sidewalks may be accepted for maintenance by the PublicWorks Director after a final inspection has been conducted and approved by


the Public Works Department, and all items <strong>of</strong> construction have beensatisfactorily completed.B. Half/Partial-StreetsHalf/Partial Streets, i.e. right-<strong>of</strong>-way <strong>of</strong> one-half <strong>of</strong> the standard or requiredwidth <strong>of</strong> a street or a portion there<strong>of</strong>, shall not be designed except whereessential to the reasonable development <strong>of</strong> the subdivision and adjacent land.The right-<strong>of</strong>-way for Half/Partial Street shall be dedicated to facilitate a futurestreet and so noted on the final plat. The Developer shall post a cash bondwith the <strong>Town</strong>, sufficient to construct one-half the cost <strong>of</strong> the street for thatportion which is situated within the subject development.ROADWAY DESIGN:At a minimum all streets shall be designed and constructed to <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong>Standard <strong>Specifications</strong> and Detailed Drawings contained in this manual. NCDOTstandards shall be used on all existing state roads, extensions <strong>of</strong> existing state roads,roads to be maintained by NCDOT, or any item <strong>of</strong> construction that is not covered in thismanual.A. Street Classifications and Classification CriteriaThe Public Works Director shall make final determination <strong>of</strong> the classification <strong>of</strong>streets in a proposed development.Primary <strong>Design</strong> Concerns:Residential Street and Residential Cul-de-SacThe primary design concerns are directed toward fostering a safeenvironment to the residential community and convenience to the motoringpublic. Emphasis is placed on providing adequate stopping site distance atintersections, driveway accesses and horizontal and vertical curves.The maximum length <strong>of</strong> an individual cul-de-sac street allowed is 1200 feetmeasured from the intersecting centerline from another street to the center<strong>of</strong> the turnaround. Circular turnarounds are recommended as permanentturnarounds; however, permanent “T” turnarounds may be considered whenthe existing topography prohibits construction <strong>of</strong> a circular turnaround.Bulb-turns and eye-brows are not recommended; however, they may beallowed on cul-de-sac streets and short internal residential streets whichbegin at a Residential Collector or Sub-collector and terminate on the sameor adjoining street forming a short loop less than 1200 feet long, measuredfrom intersecting centerlines.


Collector, Sub-Collector and Commercial StreetThe primary design concerns are directed toward fostering a safeenvironment for the adjacent land users and convenience to the motoringpublic. Emphasis is placed on site distance at intersections, drivewayaccesses, and horizontal and vertical curves. Emphasis is also placed onthe ease <strong>of</strong> ingress and egress at intersections with higher classificationstreets.Marginal Access StreetMarginal Access Streets are designed to provide primary or secondaryaccess to properties in which the other street classifications are deemedinappropriate. <strong>Design</strong> shall accommodate the vehicle type and quantityexpected to use the facility. The Public Works Director will determine theright-<strong>of</strong>-way width, roadway section, street width, and design criteria basedon the surrounding land use, character <strong>of</strong> the terrain, utility locations,structure locations, and environmental constraints.Industrial Street and Industrial Cul-de-sacThe primary design concerns are directed toward fostering a safeenvironment to the adjacent land users and convenience to the motoringpublic. Emphasis is placed on providing adequate stopping site distance atintersections, driveway accesses, and horizontal and vertical curves.Emphasis is also placed on providing adequate turning radius, tapers,storage lanes and structural integrity <strong>of</strong> the street.The maximum length <strong>of</strong> an individual cul-de-sac street allowed is 1200 feetmeasured from the intersecting centerline from another street to the center<strong>of</strong> the turnaround. Circular turnarounds are recommended as permanentturnarounds; however, permanent “T” turnarounds designed to facilitate theturning movement <strong>of</strong> a tractor pulling a 48’ trailer may be considered whenthe existing topography prohibits construction <strong>of</strong> a circular turnaround.Major and Minor ThoroughfaresThe primary design concerns are directed toward fostering a safe andconvenient environment for through traffic motorist. Emphasis is placed onalignment, spacing and full service access to street classifications ascollectors or higher. Emphasis is also placed on providing adequate turningradius, tapers, storage lanes, structural integrity and compliance to the<strong>Town</strong>s thoroughfare plan.


Private StreetAlthough not encouraged by the <strong>Town</strong>, private streets may be permitted incertain developments, including gated communitiesEstablishment <strong>of</strong> a Property Owner's Association is required in order tomaintain any private streets permitted in a development. A document settingforth declaration <strong>of</strong> covenants, conditions, and restrictions governing theProperty Owners’ Association and the property within a development shalladequately address planning, management and funding <strong>of</strong> both routinemaintenance and non-routine maintenance <strong>of</strong> private streets. At the time <strong>of</strong>preliminary plan submittal, the developer shall submit the proposeddeclarations for review and approval by the <strong>Town</strong>, and ultimate recordation.Any and all proposed private streets shall be clearly shown as such on allpreliminary subdivision plans submitted to the <strong>Town</strong> and all permittedprivate streets shall be clearly shown as such on final plats. All approvedprivate streets shall be centered within a common area strip having aminimum width <strong>of</strong> fifty (50) feet. An approved driveway permit from the<strong>Town</strong> or NCDOT (whichever is applicable) is required for all approvedprivate streets connecting with public streets.All private streets shall proceed through the same submittal, approval andinspection process that public streets undergo; however, inspection <strong>of</strong>construction shall be performed by a private engineering/consulting firm (atthe developers expense) with all inspection reports, testing and survey datasubmitted to the <strong>Town</strong> at the completion <strong>of</strong> project. Documentation shallinclude verification that all improvements have been installed in accordancewith the <strong>Construction</strong> Drawings and <strong>Specifications</strong>. The <strong>Town</strong> shall retainany and all Bonds previously placed with/submitted to the <strong>Town</strong> until allrequired documents are submitted, reviewed and approved.The minimum street design standards for all private streets shall be thesame as those approved as minimum design for public streets asreferenced in the Roadway <strong>Design</strong> Table found in the <strong>Construction</strong> Detailssection <strong>of</strong> this manual. For any private street determined by the <strong>Town</strong> PublicWorks Department as serving significant truck traffic within the foreseeablefuture, the developer shall submit a pavement design based on an 18-KipEAL design criteria to the Public Works Department for review and approvalAll private streets will have a thirty (30) inch curb and gutter section, either astandard curb and gutter or valley type curb and gutter as detailed in thisdocument. Private streets shall not be designed, constructed or striped toaccommodate Formal Street side Parking.Unless otherwise approved by the Public Works Department, utilitystructures shall not encroach or penetrate the asphalt surface course.


Private DrivePrivate drives may be allowed in certain developments in accordance withthe Unified Development Ordinance.Private drives may be used in developments to provide access to parkinglot(s) for two (2) or more principal buildings in a group housing (apartments,townhouses, condominiums, etc) or other non single-family residentialdevelopment.Private drives shall be centered within an public access easement orCOMMON AREA STRIP and shall be shown as such on all preliminaryplans and final plats.The minimum design standards are as follows:Public Access Easement/Common Area 30’Min. Pavement Width EP-EP 22’Min. Aggregate Base Course 8”Min. Asphalt Surface Course 2”Ribbon Pavement is acceptable for private drives.Note: Prior to recordation <strong>of</strong> a final plat, the developer shall furnish acertification sealed by an engineer that the sub-grade and base coursepassed a pro<strong>of</strong> roll in accordance with the <strong>Construction</strong> Standards <strong>of</strong> thisManuel.All private drives, connecting with public or private streets, require anapproved driveway application from the <strong>Town</strong> or NCDOT, whichever isapplicable.B. T-Shaped TurnaroundsPermanent T-shaped turnarounds shall be built in accordance with the<strong>Construction</strong> Standards <strong>of</strong> this manual and utilized only when topographyprohibits the construction <strong>of</strong> a circular turn-a-round.In cases where a street is to be built to the adjoining property lines, and saidstreet is be extended in the near future, or said street is less than 300’ from thenearest adjoining street, a modified T-shaped turnaround may be used inaccordance with the <strong>Construction</strong> Standards <strong>of</strong> this manual.Turnarounds are not required for stub streets less than 300’ from the nearestintersecting street.


C. Horizontal Street <strong>Design</strong>AlignmentAll streets shall conform to the <strong>Town</strong>'s adopted Street Alignment Plan(s)when applicable or shall be designed and located in proper relation toexisting and proposed streets; topography; natural features as streams andtrees; public convenience and safety; and to the <strong>Town</strong>’s Development Plan.Collector streets and thoroughfares shall be as directional as possible butconsistent with topography and preserving developed properties andcommunity values.The arrangements <strong>of</strong> streets shall make provisions for the continuation <strong>of</strong>existing streets and utilities in adjoining subdivisions. When a newsubdivision adjoins undeveloped land, or the subdivision is to be built insections, streets, including stubs, and accompanying utilities shall beconstructed to the property lines <strong>of</strong> the undeveloped land. The street andutility extensions must be designed and constructed in a manner that will notcause hardship to owners <strong>of</strong> adjoining property when they attempt todevelop their land and provide convenient access and utility services to it.If a street cannot be constructed to the property line due to minor cuts andfills which would be necessary on the adjacent property, the Public WorksDirector may determine that the last fifteen (15) feet <strong>of</strong> roadway need not beconstructed. However, in cases where the accessing street cannot beconstructed to the property line due to major cuts and fill; the Developershall post a cash bond to the <strong>Town</strong> for construction <strong>of</strong> the roadway andutilities to the property line.The design <strong>of</strong> streets shall conform to the curve controls as outlined in thismanual and design table. Streets that are multi-lane and/or divided willrequire special design review.Compound horizontal curves with the same direction <strong>of</strong> curvature shall havethe radius <strong>of</strong> the flatter circular arc no more than one and one half (1-1/2)times the radius <strong>of</strong> the sharper circular arc.IntersectionsStreets shall intersect each other at right angles whenever possible. Theminimum desirable intersection angle is eighty (80) degrees. Streetsclassified as collectors or higher shall not intersect any other street at lessthan eighty (80) degrees. In unusual situations, streets classified in theresidential category may intersect streets classified as collectors or lower ata minimum angle <strong>of</strong> seventy (70) degrees.


SuperelevationSuperelevation is to be used on all thoroughfares and in some casessuperelevation may be required for certain collector streets. Superelevationshall conform to NCDOT and AASHTO standards for superelevation design.TapersTapers shall be used as necessary in street design. Approach tapers areused to shift lanes laterally. The following equations shall be used asapplicable.L = WS for posted speeds <strong>of</strong> 45 mph and greater;L = WS 2 / 60 for posted speeds <strong>of</strong> 40 mph or less;L = Length in feetS = Speed in miles per hourW = Lateral <strong>of</strong>fsets in feet(L:W)Turn lane tapers shall be at least 15:1 for posted speeds <strong>of</strong> 45 miles perhour and more. The minimum turn lane taper allowed for streets posted lessthan 45 miles per hour is 8:1. Symmetrical reverse curve tapers arerecommended for non-thoroughfare streets. Storage lengths for the turnlanes shall be calculated using an acceptable method and approved by thePublic Works Department.Plans for all widening shall include instructions to saw and remove the toptwo (2) inches <strong>of</strong> existing pavement a minimum <strong>of</strong> twelve (12) inches fromthe edge, or as directed by the Public Works Department, and place newpavement over the existing base.GuardrailGuardrail shall be installed when determined necessary by the Public WorksDepartment.Islands and MediansConcrete traffic islands designed to direct turning movements areacceptable and shall be constructed and placed as per NCDOT standardspecifications.D. Vertical <strong>Design</strong>Street grades shall be established with respect to existing topography to avoidexcessive grading and the removal <strong>of</strong> existing trees and vegetation whenever


practical. The vertical curve controls found in the <strong>Design</strong> Table shall befollowed at all times.E. GeometricRadiiA minimum radius <strong>of</strong> thirty (30) feet to the back <strong>of</strong> curb shall be requiredwhere residential streets intersect.A minimum radius <strong>of</strong> forty-five (45) feet with four (4) foot <strong>of</strong>fsets and 15:1tapers are required where industrial streets and thoroughfares intersect.Driveway <strong>Design</strong> Criteria and PermitsA driveway permit is required for all driveways, streets or turnouts accessingPublic Streets. A driveway inspection is required prior to pouring concreteor placing asphalt. Once the driveway location has been approved by thePublic Works Department, and concrete forms set, the Public WorksDepartment must be notified for an inspection (996-6916). Failure to requesta driveway inspection and failure to comply with the specifications maynecessitate removal and replacement <strong>of</strong> the driveway apron by the propertyowner and/or responsible party. See Detail Drawings for driveway apronspecifications.Residential driveways shall be 10-14 feet wide and shall conform to thedetail drawings in this manual for concrete driveway aprons. A widerdriveway may be considered in cases where a wide driveway is needed toaccess a double car garage or similar facility.Residential driveways located on corner lots were Sub-collector and lowerclassification streets intersect shall be located a minimum distance <strong>of</strong> ten(15’) feet from the point <strong>of</strong> tangency <strong>of</strong> the curb radii <strong>of</strong> the intersectingstreet.Street type turnouts may be considered when the anticipated driveway ADTis greater than 500 vehicles or when access by larger trucks must beaccommodated. Street type driveways shall have a minimum width <strong>of</strong>twenty-four (24) feet. Any curb and gutter used will be in addition to twentyfour(24) foot minimum pavement width.Driveways that are unpaved shall have a minimum seven (7) foot concreteapron measured from the back <strong>of</strong> the curb and gutter.The number <strong>of</strong> street and driveway connections permitted serving a singleproperty frontage or commercial development shall be the minimumdeemed necessary by the <strong>Town</strong> for reasonable service to the property


without undue impairment <strong>of</strong> safety, convenience, and utility <strong>of</strong> the roadway.Normally, not more than one driveway shall be permitted for any singleproperty frontage. The arrangement <strong>of</strong> driveways should be related toadjacent driveways and nearby street intersections to avoid conflictingturning movements.Curb and GutterCurb and gutter shall be required on all public maintained streets, whichhave public water & sewer available to the site. The standard 2'-6" concretecurb and gutter and concrete valley gutter are acceptable. See DetailDrawings.Ribbon Paved StreetsIn developments where the <strong>Town</strong> determines that public sewer is notavailable and cannot be made available within a reasonable time frame,ribbon paved streets may be considered.SidewalksSidewalks shall be installed at the time <strong>of</strong> roadway construction or installedin phases as approved by the Public Works Department.The minimum thickness <strong>of</strong> concrete sidewalks shall be four (4) inches,designed to reach a 28-day compressive strength <strong>of</strong> 3000 psi. At locationswhere a driveway crosses a sidewalk, a six (6) inch depth is required.Where required, sidewalks shall be three (3) feet behind the back <strong>of</strong> curbwith a minimum width <strong>of</strong> five (5) feet. The Board may require a widersidewalk and/or grass strip in developments were a substantial amount <strong>of</strong>pedestrian or vehicular traffic is anticipated.Where sidewalks and/or greenways intersect any section <strong>of</strong> curb and gutter,wheel chair ramps are required.F. Pavement <strong>Design</strong>.Pavement design for all streets other than the thoroughfare streets shall be inaccordance with the <strong>Design</strong> Table in this manual. An engineered pavementdesign will be required for approval by the Public Works Director for allthoroughfares in accordance with these specifications. The pavement designand traffic analysis shall be signed and sealed by a Registered North CarolinaPr<strong>of</strong>essional Engineer.

G. BridgeStructures, which are to span streams, shall be designed for hydraulicrequirements in accordance with this manual. Plans shall be submitted to thePublic Works Department for review and approval.All public or private bridges shall be designed to withstand HS-20 highwayloading unless otherwise approved by the Public Works Department and shallbe properly signed and sealed by a North Carolina Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Engineer.H. Roadway DamsIt is the policy <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong> to discourage the location <strong>of</strong>roadways on dams. In those cases, where a definite advantage may be gainedor a substantial savings in funds may be realized, the utilization <strong>of</strong> a dam for aroadway may be considered.Where it is determined that a dam will be utilized as a roadway, the followingcriteria must be met:1. When applicable, the dam must have certification from the NCDepartment <strong>of</strong> Natural Resources and Community Developmentpursuant to the "Dam Safety Law <strong>of</strong> 1967" (as amended by the GeneralAssembly <strong>of</strong> 1977).2. All pertinent data regarding the design <strong>of</strong> the embankment as animpoundment structure must be presented to the Public WorksDepartment for review.3. The top cross-section dimension must be the roadway section widthrequired (from right <strong>of</strong> way line to right <strong>of</strong> way line) for the facility plus aminimum <strong>of</strong> four (4) feet on each side.4. Guardrail will be provided on both sides <strong>of</strong> the roadway.5. Spillway will be designed to provide two (2) feet <strong>of</strong> freeboard for anestimated 100-year design frequency outflow as a minimum.6. A means <strong>of</strong> draining the lake completely will be provided.<strong>Design</strong> acceptance or approval by the <strong>Town</strong> is limited to the use <strong>of</strong> the dam asa roadway and is in no way intended as approval <strong>of</strong> the embankment as animpoundment structure.Responsibility incurred by the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong> when a section <strong>of</strong> roadwaycrossing a dam is accepted as a part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong>'s maintenance system islimited to maintenance <strong>of</strong> the roadway proper for vehicular traffic only.


Responsibility for the impoundment, any damage that may result there from,and maintenance <strong>of</strong> the dam or appurtenances as may be required to preserveits integrity as a water impoundment structure, shall remain with the owner <strong>of</strong>the impoundment.Structures should be designed and plans sealed by a Registered Pr<strong>of</strong>essionalEngineer.STREET NAMES:Proposed streets, which are obviously in alignment with other streets, shall bear theassigned name <strong>of</strong> the existing streets. In no case shall the name for a proposed streetduplicate or be phonetically similar to an existing street name in Forsyth County,irrespective <strong>of</strong> the use <strong>of</strong> the suffix street, avenue, boulevard, drive, place, court, etc.Street names for all new subdivisions shall be approved by the Winston-Salem/ForsythCounty Planning Department.STREET TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNS:The owner/developer shall pay for all signs required for a development as per theadopted fee schedule prior to recording the final plat. The Public Works Departmentshall install signs once the fine grading has been satisfactory completed behind thecurb.SIGHT DISTANCE:Sight distance shall mean the length <strong>of</strong> roadway visible to the driver traveling along theroadway or waiting to enter or cross the roadway. The sight triangle shall include boththe horizontal and vertical plane. A 10' x 70' horizontal sight triangle shall be located atall street intersections and multi-family and non-residential driveway intersections.The <strong>Town</strong> shall review all proposed development plans, including site, subdivision,landscape plans, infrastructure plans and sign plans for compliance with theserequirements. All new development within the <strong>Town</strong>'s ETJ shall meet theserequirements as a part <strong>of</strong> the plan approval process.Some objects located within sight distance or sight triangle areas may not significantlyobstruct the required visibility <strong>of</strong> the driver. The driver may be able to see over, underor around some objects within sight distance areas. Objects that may be allowed withinsight distance areas include fire hydrants, utility poles, and utility cabinets less than 2-feet high, and traffic control devices that are located to minimize visual obstruction.Other objects twelve (12) inches in diameter and smaller, such as utility poles, lightpoles and sign posts, may be allowed within sight distance areas if located individuallyor in combination so as to not substantially restrict the driver's view. The determination<strong>of</strong> what objects, if any, may be located within sight distance areas shall be made by thePublic Works Department.


A. Intersection Sight DistanceIn order for vehicles to safely maneuver into or through an intersection,sufficient sight distance must be provided so as to avoid collisions. Intersectionsight distance is measured from a driver's eye 3.5 feet high to an object 4.25feet high as measured from the pavement surface.The amount <strong>of</strong> sight distance required at an intersection depends on the type <strong>of</strong>traffic control at the intersection and the speeds <strong>of</strong> the vehicles.1. Stop Sign ControlAt approaches to intersections that are controlled by stop signs or atdriveways where the driver is required to stop before entering the street,the driver must have an unobstructed view <strong>of</strong> the entire intersection andadequate sight distance for any <strong>of</strong> the various vehicular movementsallowed upon departure <strong>of</strong> the intersection. These movements mayinclude crossing the street, turning left or turning right onto the street.An obstruction to the driver's view shall not be located within the sighttriangles as defined herein to permit adequate view <strong>of</strong> the intersection.In addition, there shall be no sight obstructions located in the triangularareas shown in Figures 1 through 4 to allow for safe departure throughthe intersection. The measurement <strong>of</strong> intersection sight distance isalong the centerline <strong>of</strong> the appropriate lane <strong>of</strong> the roadway and ismeasured from an eye height <strong>of</strong> 3.5 feet above the surface <strong>of</strong> theroadway to an object 4.25 feet above the surface <strong>of</strong> the roadway. Thelocation <strong>of</strong> the driver's eye (d1) is dependent on the classification <strong>of</strong> theintersecting streets. For all intersections where the through street is athoroughfare, the driver's eye location shall be 15 feet back from theface <strong>of</strong> curb extended through the intersection, or the edge <strong>of</strong> pavementif there is no curb. At all intersections where the through street is a localor collector street, and for driveways, the driver's eye shall be locatedten (10 feet behind the face <strong>of</strong> curb extended, or the edge <strong>of</strong> pavement ifthere is no curb. The sight distance lengths d2 and d3 shown in Figures1 through 3 for left or right turns onto the through street are dependenton the design speed <strong>of</strong> the roadway and are presented in Table 3-1.Figure 4 shows the measurement method for determining the sight linefor left turns from the through street. Table 3-2 gives the minimum sightdistance for this movement across one, two, or three lanes (d1).

Stopping Sight DistanceAt a minimum, stopping sight distance must be available to the driver at alllocations along roadways. Stopping sight distance applies to horizontal as wellas vertical alignments. Stopping sight distance on horizontal curves ismeasured along the centerline <strong>of</strong> the inside lane around the curve and the line<strong>of</strong> sight is a straight line between two points on the centerline <strong>of</strong> the lane. Onvertical curves, stopping sight distance is measured on a straight line betweenthe driver's eye and an object on the roadway surface. The height <strong>of</strong> the driver'seye shall be measured at 3.5 feet above the roadway surface and the objectshall be 0.5 feet above the roadway surface. Figures 5 and 6 illustratemeasurement <strong>of</strong> stopping sight distance horizontally and vertically, respectively.A more detailed explanation <strong>of</strong> the measurement <strong>of</strong> stopping sight distance isincluded in A Policy on Geometric <strong>Design</strong> <strong>of</strong> Highways and Streets, 1990(AASHTO Green Book). The minimum stopping sight distance required isbased on wet pavements and depends on the design speed and grade <strong>of</strong> theroadway. Table 3-3 presents minimum stopping sight distances for variousdesign speeds on level terrain. Table 3-4 presents factors for adjusting length<strong>of</strong> stopping sight distance for grades.

STORM DRAINAGE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS:The following is a list <strong>of</strong> requirements for storm drainage plans and for storm drainagelines that will eventually be maintained by the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong>. See Appendix IVfor additional information.A. General:1. The Rational Method is used by the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong> fordetermining storm drainage run<strong>of</strong>f for areas under two hundred (200)acres. For areas over two hundred (200) acres, the <strong>Town</strong> uses theSCS method.2. Grading permits covering sedimentation and erosion control measuresmust be obtained before any grading or land-disturbing activity cancommence.3. Storm drainage systems shall be designed to convey a minimum ten(10) year design storm.4. Culverts on major streams shall be designed as follows:Drainage Area<strong>Design</strong> Storm0-150 Acres 25-Year150-400 Acres 50-YearOver 400 Acres100-Year5. Storm drainage lines within right-<strong>of</strong>-ways along residential streets andresidential cul-de-sacs shall be RCP; or smooth wall HDPE pipe forlines less than 36-inches in diameter. Storm drainage lines within allother right-<strong>of</strong> ways shall be RCP. ACP will be considered for culverts66-inches or larger in diameter.6. Pipe inlets and culvert situations are to be checked for inlet and outletheadwater control so as to insure that headwater will not encroach onuphill adjacent property or create a hazard to existing and futuredevelopment.7. Spacing <strong>of</strong> storm drainage inlets must control water so that inletcapacity and gutter spread design criteria are not exceeded in a designstorm event.8. Minimum size for storm drainage pipe is fifteen (15) inches in diameter,twelve (12) inch diameter pipe may be used in unique circumstancesas approved by the Public Works Department.9. Minimum storm drainage pipe grade is 1.0%.


10. Maximum storm drainage pipe grade is 10.0%. Steeper grades may beconsidered at outlets and other substantial grade changes.11. Minimum grade for tail-ditching is 1.0%.12. Manholes are required at changes in grade, changes in alignment, andat intersection <strong>of</strong> drainage pipe.13. A concrete grout invert slide is required in all drainage boxes andmanholes.14. Recommended manhole drops:a) Change in alignment 0 degrees to 45 degrees, 0.10 ft.b) Change in alignment greater than 45 degrees, 0.20 ft.c) Change in pipe size, match inverts.d) Reverse flow conditions in a storm sewer system created by a tie-inat a structure will not be allowed unless a manhole drop equal to thediameter <strong>of</strong> the outgoing pipe is provided.15. End walls or flared-end sections, plus an appropriate energy dissipaterwill be required at the release point <strong>of</strong> all pipe systems. Open endedpipes are acceptable where flow rates are low and erosion can becontrolled with proper outlet protection.B. Drainage for Subdivisions and Other Developments:1. Site drainage will be required to tie into existing storm drainage systemwhere possible.2. The following must be included on Site Drainage Plans:a) Location <strong>of</strong> inlets, manholes, pipe lines.b) Clearly defined lines delineating areas drained to each inlet.c) Existing and proposed contour lines shall be extended a minimum <strong>of</strong>two hundred (200) feet beyond the project limits.d) Ditches, swales, pipes, and drainage easements which are adjacentto the proposed project.e) Drainage calculations.3.

TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENTSECTION 1INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN GUIDELINESNo portion <strong>of</strong> these Guidelines is intended to authorize, regulate or prescribe landuses or to supercede the Unified Development Ordinance. These criteria providea tool to the Public Works Department for reviewing Traditional NeighborhoodDevelopments that fall within the definition and intent <strong>of</strong> these GuidelinesTND DEFINED: A Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) is a humanscale, walkable community with moderate to high residential densities and amixed use core. TND’s provide a variety <strong>of</strong> housing types, shopping, services,public facilities and work places in close proximity to each other to promote anintegrated community.A dense network <strong>of</strong> streets is fundamental to TND design. This network serves toboth slow and disperse vehicular traffic and provide a pedestrian friendlyatmosphere. TNDs have a high proportion <strong>of</strong> interconnected streets, sidewalksand paths. Streets and rights-<strong>of</strong> ways are shared between vehicles (moving andparked), bicycles and pedestrians.The dense network <strong>of</strong> TND streets functions in an interdependent manner,providing continuous routes that enhance non-vehicular travel. Most TND streetsare designed to minimize through traffic by the design <strong>of</strong> the street and thelocation <strong>of</strong> land uses.INTENT: That the development encourage walking and biking, enhance transitservice opportunities, and improve traffic safety by promoting low speed,cautious driving while fully accommodating the needs <strong>of</strong> pedestrians, bicyclistsand on street parking. A properly designed TND should have the potential toreduce the number <strong>of</strong> external vehicle trips, and thus vehicle miles traveled, by15% or more through provision <strong>of</strong> commercial, recreational and other residentorienteddestinations within a walkable community. Traffic impacts, both on-siteand <strong>of</strong>f-site, should be minimized. Public utilities should be placed in alleys whenpossible and to reduce the number <strong>of</strong> public utilities obstructing the public areasand walkways.


SECTION 2DESIGN GUIDELINES.Relationship to the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>Design</strong> and <strong>Construction</strong> <strong>Specifications</strong>– Once adevelopment, or portion there<strong>of</strong>, has been approved as a TND these designguidelines shall supercede any related design standards contained in otherSections <strong>of</strong> this manual. The TND design guidelines are intended to providegeneral information to the designing engineer, however, the design andconstruction standards, detail drawings, permits, policies, submittal andinspection procedures, etc. contained in this manual shall apply unlessspecifically superceded by guidelines set forth in the TND design guidelinessection. If a development or a portion there<strong>of</strong> has not been approved as a TND,this section will not apply.Property Owner Covenants - The property owners covenants for any TND shallbe submitted to the Public Works Department and Planning Office at a minimumthree (3) weeks prior to recording the final plat for review and approval.<strong>Design</strong> Speed – <strong>Design</strong> speed should closely match the street type, vehicle useand the proposed speed limit. The majority <strong>of</strong> street types are “streets” and“alleys,” which provide direct access to housing and which have a desired upperlimit <strong>of</strong> actual vehicle speeds <strong>of</strong> approximately 25 mph.Street types and widths – <strong>Design</strong>ers must recognize the implications <strong>of</strong> sharedstreet space and an interconnected street network. A properly designed streetnetwork should provide at least two routes <strong>of</strong> access to any property within theTND. A high level <strong>of</strong> accessibility is <strong>of</strong>fered to emergency vehicles by aninterconnected TND network. The framework <strong>of</strong> streets should provideappropriate service area routing for school buses, garbage trucks, emergencyand transit vehicles. <strong>Design</strong>ers should coordinate with and involve all appropriateparties to ensure that oversized and emergency vehicles are accommodated.The specific dimension <strong>of</strong> each street element is as follows:Refer to roadway drawings included in this sectionStreet Width Parking C&G MedianAlley (2-way) 16’ EP/EP N/A 2’ Valley Type N/ANeighborhood St 28’ F/F Informal 2.5’ Standard N/ANeighborhood Center St 34’ F/F Formal 2.5’ Standard OptionalCommercial District St 38’ F/F Min Formal 2.5’ Standard OptionalParkway/BoulevardAs approved by the Public Works DirectorNotes:1) Bicycle lanes are optional in all roadways, minimum lane width shall be 4’, lane shall be designated as bike route.2) Where optional items are added, such as, medians, bike routes, alleys etc, utility easements will vary and must beapproved by the public works department prior to platting.3) Where Parking is anticipated to occur on one side only, the Neighborhood Center and Commercial District Streets maybe reduced to 28’ F-F and 32’ F-F respectively.


4) Parkway/Boulevard cross sections will be approved by the Public Works Director taken in to consideration; use <strong>of</strong>proposed roadway, anticipated ADT, adjoining property uses, thoroughfare/collector systems and adjoining street types.5) Utilities will not be permitted under the pavement except, alleys, perpendicular crossings and specific approval by thePublic Works Director6) Median divided streets shall have a minimum travel lane <strong>of</strong> 12’ with 8’ <strong>of</strong> formal parking excluding the concrete gutter.7) Short Neighborhood Loop Streets and Cul-de-Sacs less than 600’ may be constructed to a width <strong>of</strong> 26’ FF or VV.Stopping Sight Distances - Minimum-stopping distances should conform to thedesign speed for the particular street and the stopping distances required for wetpavement conditions, as follows:20 mph 125 feet25 mph 150 feet30 mph 200 feetThese sight distances should be provided by both vertical and horizontalalignment. Where grades vary from level conditions, stopping sight distances canbe decreased for uphill grades and must be increased for downhill grades.Vertical Curve <strong>Design</strong> – K values for vertical curve design should be consistentwith design speed. Maximum centerline grades should also be consistent withdesign standards.Centerline Radii – The criteria for minimum centerline radius for design speeds<strong>of</strong> 25 mph and less (no superelevation) are:20 mph 90 feet25 mph 175 feetCurb Radii – For design speeds <strong>of</strong> 25 mph or less the minimum criteria for curbradius is 25 feet. On street parking may be restricted 50 feet back from theintersection on each street.Intersection sight triangles – The minimum sight triangle for stop conditions atstreet intersections shall be 70 feet along the major road right <strong>of</strong> way and 10 feetalong the minor road right <strong>of</strong> way. The intersection sight triangle shall bepermanent sight easement.Curb construction. All curbed streets shall be built in accordance with NCDOTrequirements for vertical curb and gutter and valley type construction.Pavement <strong>Design</strong> – All public streets shall meet the pavement design criteriaestablished in the “<strong>Design</strong> Standards Section” <strong>of</strong> this manual.


Sidewalks and Pedestrians – Minimum width for a sidewalk is 5 feet.Sidewalks, which directly abut curbing, shall be a minimum <strong>of</strong> 6 feet. Sidewalksneed an additional 2 feet <strong>of</strong> width if they directly abut fences, walls, buildings orother vertical structures. Within commercial areas and places with highpedestrian volumes, sidewalks should be sized and surfaced appropriately foranticipated pedestrian traffic volumes and to meet or exceed ADA guidelines.Bicyclists – On lower volume streets bicyclists should be considered a normalpart <strong>of</strong> the vehicle mix on the street. On higher volume streets bicyclists shouldbe accommodated with 6 feet wide bike lanes, but separate routes for lessexperienced bicyclists may be considered as well. Routing bicyclists within andthrough TNDs may include signage and striping, including changing the color <strong>of</strong>the entire bike lane, as appropriate.Transit – TND design should be inherently compatible with transit. Transit shouldbe addressed wherever it is present and should be appropriately planned whereit may not yet exist. Transit services are typically provided within core areas andalong avenues, main streets and higher-capacity roads. Due to size andinterconnected street pattern, residents <strong>of</strong>ten do not need to walk more than ¼mile to the nearest transit stop.On-street Parking – “Informal Parking” refers to parking that is allowed alongstreets, but is not designated or marked as parking areas. “Formal Parking”refers to parking that is allowed along streets that is designated or marked, butnot necessarily stripped as such. Formal Parking on Commercial or highervolume streets may require stripping.Planting Strips and Street Trees – Planting strips, located between the curband sidewalk parallel with the street, shall be 8 feet or more in width. To maintainsight lines, trees and other objects are prohibited in the site distance areasillustrated in figures 1-5 <strong>of</strong> the design standard section <strong>of</strong> this manual.If trees or plantings are placed in the right-<strong>of</strong>-way, the property ownersassociation covenants shall include language which outlines how and when thetrees or plantings will be maintained. Tree types placed within the right-<strong>of</strong> waymust be approved by the Public Works Department. The developer and/orproperty owners association must keep the trees trimmed on the road side tomaintain a clear distance from the pavement to a distance 10-feet above thepavement. Approval shall be based on the assurance that the property ownersassociation covenants clearly state how the trees and plantings within the right<strong>of</strong>-waywill be adequately and routinely maintained and replaced if needed.


Specialty Pavement within the Right-<strong>of</strong>-Way –If specialty pavements such ascobble stones, brick pavers, stamped concrete, stamped asphalt and polymerwalkways are placed in the right-<strong>of</strong>-way, the property owners associationcovenants shall include language which states how and when the pavements willbe maintained. The property owners association covenants shall state whatpercentage <strong>of</strong> the POA dues will be allocated toward specialty pavementmaintenance/repair and/or how special assessments will be applied to addressmajor repairs. If the specialty pavement deteriorates, heaves, settles, cracksand/or fails beyond the point <strong>of</strong> safe passage for pedestrians and vehicles orcracks and allows surface water to penetrate the sub-grade, the Public WorksDirector may require the property owners association to make the necessaryrepairs. Specialty pavements placed within the right-<strong>of</strong> way must be approved bythe Public Works Department prior to construction.Traffic Circles and Roundabouts – If used within the TND all obstructions andplantings over the height <strong>of</strong> a drivers eye, (3.5’ from pavement elevation) areprohibited in the inter portion <strong>of</strong> the traffic circle or roundabout except a singletree planted in the middle <strong>of</strong> the circle <strong>of</strong> which the limbs must be trimmed tomaintain a clear distance from the pavement to a distance 10-feet above thepavement.Utilities – All utility installations within rights-<strong>of</strong>-way shall be consistent with the<strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kernersville</strong> and the City/County Utilities Commissions currentUtility Policy. For Neighborhood Streets, herein defined as “streets,” andresidential collector streets, herein defined as “Boulevards” and “Parkways,”underground utilities may cross perpendicular under the pavement, but shall notrun longitudinally under the pavement <strong>of</strong> any public street. All utility stub-outs areto be installed prior to paving the final surface course. Refer to utility corridors(tree lined street) for approved utility corridors.Lighting – As a general rule, shorter spacing and short poles (12’-16’) arepreferred over longer spacing and taller poles. All lighting shall meet the town’sstreet lighting policy. The scale <strong>of</strong> lighting fixtures and the illumination providedmust be appropriate for both pedestrian and vehicular movements. Decorativestreet lights must be installed and the developer shall pay for the initial capitalcost <strong>of</strong> such fixtures.Block Length: All or most low speed, low volume streets should have shortblock lengths <strong>of</strong> between 250 and 500 feet. Exceptions may be needed due totopography, environmental protection, preservation <strong>of</strong> cultural resources, andsimilar considerations.


Highways and Large Through Corridors: Thoroughfare and collector streetsmay penetrate a TND, if so, the adjoining streets must be designed toaccommodate these intersections by minimizing the direct access onto thecollector and thoroughfare streets.SECTION 3POLICIES.The <strong>Town</strong>, consistent with current policies, will not install or maintain street trees,median plantings, specialty pavement, park benches, bike paths, walking trials orsimilar features within the right-<strong>of</strong>-way. Installation and construction <strong>of</strong> suchfeatures is the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the developer. Maintenance <strong>of</strong> such right-<strong>of</strong>-wayfeatures will be the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the property owners’ association or groupthat has responsibility for other common assets.Vertical curb and gutter construction is preferred on all streets where individualparcel accesses are prohibited. On low volume streets where access is providedfor individual parcels, valley curb & gutter is preferred.<strong>Design</strong> guidelines established for TNDs will remain separate and apart from thestandards for conventional subdivisions. TND and conventional developmentconcepts shall not be combined within the same development.Refer to the attached drawings for roadway cross sections.
