4-4 VISALIA GENERAL PLAN UPDATE county. In addition, it is estimated that nearly 25 percent of these trips are trucks. • State Route 198 is a major east-west corridor that begins at US 101, travels through the City of Visalia, and terminates at the Sequoia National Park entrance. This roadway has several sections that contain two and four lane roadways. In Visalia this roadway operates as a four lane freeway. State Route 198 will be improved to a four lane expressway between State Route 43 and State Route 99. State Route 198 serves a mix of residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural land uses. SR 198 between Ben Maddox and Mooney Boulevard is the County’s most traveled roadway, with 58,000 daily trips in 2011. Arterials Arterials collect and distribute traffic from freeways and expressways to collector streets and vice versa. On arterials, the optimum distance between intersections is approximately one quarter mile. Driveways to major traffic generators may be permitted within the quarter-mile spacing. Other intersections closer than one quarter mile should be restricted to right turn access. Based upon the Visalia Improvement Standards (2008), the arterial right-of-way widths range from 84 feet to 110 feet. Arterials feature two to three through lanes of traffic in each direction with a leftturn channelization. Collectors Collectors connect local and arterial streets and provide direct access to parcels. At major intersections, driveways on collector streets should be no closer than 50 feet to the intersection per the City of Visalia Improvement Standards. Non-residential driveways and/or intersecting streets on collector streets should be no closer than 300 to 400 feet apart. Major collectors carry four lanes of traffic within an 84-foot right-of-way and two bicycle lanes within an additional 10 feet of right-of-way. Collectors generally carry two lanes of traffic and are a minimum of 60 feet wide. Local Streets Local streets provide direct access to parcels. Local streets represent the largest part of the city’s circulation system. Access to local streets is unrestricted and right-of-way widths vary between 48 and 66 feet depending on surrounding land uses (2008 City of Visalia Design and Improvement Standards). All roadways not identified in the General Plan as freeways, arterials, or collectors are designated local streets. Although the City of Visalia Design Standards provide guidance on cross-section widths and the City has preserved right-of-way along street corridors for future transportation-related improvements, street designs may vary with regard to raised medians, travel lanes for vehicles, bicycle lanes, parking and sidewalks within these cross sections. Future roadways will be developed on a street by street basis according to direction from the City.
