Residential Roads

  • While density and sizes vary, local streets in residential neighbourhoods are often underutilised as spaces for play and leisure.
  • Residential streets should provide safe and inviting places to walk and access to local stores and schools.
  • Designs for local residential streets should combine stormwater management features.
  • Curb extensions and traffic calming measures should be applied to slow vehicles through vertical and horizontal speed-control elements.
  • Safe cycling environments should be provided on all streets.
