G) Reflectorization - Signs shall be reflectorized. <br />H) Color - Signs shall have a white message and <br />border on a green background. <br />I) Sign Faces - Sign faces shall be parallel to the <br />streets they name. <br />J) Lettering - Lettering shall be at least 4 inches <br />high unless the name is very long, in which case <br />slightly smaller lettering shall be acceptable. <br />Upper case lettering shall be standard. <br />K) Amount of Legend - Three lines, including street <br />name, block and state road numbers shall be <br />maximum. <br />L) Lateral Clearance - Signs shall have maximum <br />practical clearance from the road's edge. <br />Suggested lateral clearance is 61. <br />*IV- B- 3-d -i. Roads - Public roads are generally required in"'all <br />*Amended subdivisions and will be required where it is found <br />2/1/88 that: <br />4/4/88 <br />10/16/90 1. The subdivision roads would be accepted by the <br />(eff.12 /3/90) State for maintenance if: <br />a. They are built in a manner which satisfies <br />the minimum State design and construction <br />criteria for subdivision roads; and <br />b. They would satisfy other requirements for <br />addition to the State maintenance system, <br />including, but not limited to, the general <br />density standard of at least two occupied <br />residences for each one -tenth of a mile of <br />subdivision road. <br />If, upon review of a subdivision plat, it is <br />determined that the general density standard is <br />met, but a design standard is not, a re- design <br />will be required where possible. For example, if <br />the number of lots proposed along a subdivision <br />road would clearly satisfy the density standard, <br />but the road design was such that the centerline <br />radius did not meet the minimum standard of 230 <br />feet for level land, a new road design would be <br />required. Another example is a situation where a <br />landscaped island or entrance median prevents <br />acceptance of the road for maintenance. <br />The above criteria and standards are identified <br />in a publication, Subdivision Roads - Minimum <br />Construction Standards, prepared by and available <br />from the N.C. Department of Transportation; or <br />-30- <br />
