Transcription of Road Width - Pioneer Institute
{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
Road Width Most subdivision regulations list the minimum required Width of pavement for all of the types of roads allowed in the municipality. In general, a travel lane is 9 10 feet, so the most narrow requirements are 18 20 feet of pavement. The average car or pickup is feet wide, and dump trucks and school buses are 7 feet. The rationale for roads wider than 20 feet is the need to accommodate parked cars and two-way traffic, as well as emergency road Width requirements are often listed in a section titled Street Design Standards, under the heading Width . The regulations often include a table that lists the required Width of pavement, right of way, and other standards for each road classification.
