Shaded areas are guidelines that may be modified (see Notes). <br />All Volumes represenl 20-year lorecasts. "Low Volume"< 5,000; "Medium Volume" = 5,000 to 10,000; and "High Volume" > 10,000. <br />3 Non-continuous streets relers to cul-de-sac or short length local streets (less than 1/2 mile) which do not necessarily cross the roadway in question. <br />4 Additional access may be permilled in the form of right-in/righl-oul (1/4 mile spacing) if there is no other feasible local road access poin\. <br />5 Access criteria should be based on factors such as stopping sigh I distance, drainage, and spacing and alignment with other access points. <br />Access spacing may be reduced on county facilities to 1/4 mile. <br />Access spacing may be reduced on counly facilities to 1/8 mile. <br />S Local land access off of collector and arterial streets should be minimized. <br />· All access localions should have adequate stopping sight distance, drainage, spacing from adjacenl access and alignment. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Sherburne County Transportation Plan <br />62 <br />
