OF SOUTH FRONTENAC
NOTES:
(1)
The safety requirements are based on the design speed. The posted speed is
provided for convenience only and is set at 20km below the design speed to
reflect the usual practice. However, in certain circumstances (such as rugged
terrain) the difference may be lower and the posted speed may even be the same
as the design speed. therefore, the design speed should be verified with the
Township.
(2)
Major traffic generators and public road intersections must be reviewed by the
Township and are subject to the standards of the latest M.T.O. Geometric Design
Manual. This table does not apply to them.
(3)
In reduced speed zones, such as urban areas, where the legislated posted speed is
significantly lower than the design speed, it may be unreasonable to apply the
visibility requirements based on the design speed. Therefore, where the Township
is satisfied that the proposed access will be safe, consideration may be given to
applying the posted speed requirements.
(4)
In measuring the sight distance, the following standards are used.
a)
The drivers' eye level is defined as 1.05m (3.5 ft.) above ground.
b)
Height of object (representing the roof of a vehicle) is defined as 1.3m
(4.25 ft.) above the highway.
c)
For vehicles entering the highway, visibility is measured from the driver's
eye level, at a point set back 3m from the edge of pavement of the through
lane, in both directions.
d)
On a two-lane undivided highway, visibility must be measured for both
directions.
For a fully divided highway, visibility should be measured for the
approach direction.
