administrators, from any and all loss, damages or other
expenses in any way arising from or caused by anything
done hereunder.

Notes To Table 2
Note 1
These requirements are to be read in conjunction with this Bylaw.
(a)
Highway dedications for collector roads and local roads are in
accordance with Section 945 of the Local Government Act, R.S.B.C.

location preferred by the Public Utility Companies except by
additional or separate dedication or statutory right-of-way.
(b)
Local Roads servicing more than 100 self-contained dwellings units
shall be classified as Through Local.
Note 2

Where construction of half of the width of the pavement standard is
required, and the other half does not exist, the minimum width of
pavement for all zones will be 6 metres, and the minimum width of
dedication will be 11 metres, or 10 metres plus 1.0 metres plus a 1.0
metre statutory right-of-way in favour of the City.
(b)
Additional pavement width is needed at the intersection of lanes in
order to provide turn radius, and may be needed at intersections with
arterial roads in order to provide traffic turn lane channelization. Refer
to "Surrey Road Classification Map (R-91)", attached as Schedule "D" to
this By-law.
(c)
Parking in cul-de-sac heads or in parking bays is permitted when the
designated highway dedication to accommodate the parking
arrangements together with sidewalks and street lights is insufficient,
additional property for parking spaces shall be dedicated.
(d)
If a highway dedication already exists or if topographic conditions are
extreme, the road requirements shall conform to current Council
policy for unopened roads.
Note 3

23:
-
sidewalks are not required on limited local roads less than
50 metres in length;
-
a sidewalk is required on one side only on limited local roads 50
metres to 220 metres in length;
-
