. which will provide centerline curves of 100 feet minimum
length, except that reversing curves need not exceed a radius
of 1500 feet and any curve need not exceed a radius of 3000
feet. Only the length of curve outside of the BCR is used
to satisfy this 100 foot minimum requirement.
Use a minimum centerline radius of 500 feet on a local street
with an intersecting street on the concave side. The length
of curve shall be a minimum of 300 feet.
