There are typically two primary considerations for roadside design along the traveled way for arterials – clear zones and lateral offset.

Lower-speed arterials in urban and urban core areas should provide a balanced roadway design for all users. These considerations may include providing increased access and mobility for nonmotorized modes (pedestrians, bicyclists, etc.), facilitating transit operations, and achieving other community goals.

Arterials must meet the minimum clear zone requirements shown in . For additional guidance on roadside design see .
