In addition to the intersection standards outlined in the construction standards listed in the Pierce County Road Standards, the following standards apply to new subdivisions and new development in existing plats:

A. Streets must intersect as nearly as possible at right angles, and no two streets may intersect at less than 60 degrees.

B. Not more than two streets may intersect at any one point, unless the town engineer certifies to the permit-issuing authority that such an intersection can be constructed with no extraordinary danger to public safety.

C. Whenever possible, proposed intersections along one side of a street must coincide with existing or proposed intersections on the opposite side of such street. In any event, where a centerline offset (jog) must occur at an intersection, the distance between centerlines of the intersecting streets must be evaluated and designed according to accepted traffic safety standards. [Ord. 378 § 2 (Exh. 1), 1999.]
