street turnout, to the property line will be at least as great as the distance from the edge of pavement to the property line along the intersecting streets. This property line can be established as a radius or as a sight triangle. Greater offsets from the edge of pavement to the property lines will be required, if necessary, to provide sight distance for the stopped vehicle on the side street. 3. Off -set intersections are to be avoided unless exception is granted by the Division of Highways for intersections involving the State Highway System, or the Planning Board for intersections involving only the municipal street system. Intersections which cannot be aligned should be separated by a minimum length of 200 feet between surveyed centerlines. E. Cul -de -sacs Cul -de -sacs, unless exception is granted by the local planning board, shall not be more than five hundred feet in length. The distance from the edge of pavement on the vehicular turn - around to the right -of -way line should not be less than the distance from the edge of pavement to right -of- way line on the street approaching the turn - around. Cul -de- sacs should not be used to avoid connection with an existing street or to avoid the extension of an important street. F. Alleys 1. Alleys should be required to serve lots used for commercial and industrial purposes except that this requirement may be waived where other definite and assured provision is made for service access. Alleys shall not be provided in residential sub- divisions unless necessitated by unusual cir- cumstances. 2. The width of an alley shall be at least twenty feet. 3. Dead -end alleys shall be avoided where possible, but if unavoidable, shall be provided with adequate turn - around facilities at the dead -end as may be approved by the Planning Board. 4.
