2.4.1 Existing Geometry

It is recommended that existing roadway geometry be verified during field observations. This is especially important for areas with new developments, locations that have dated aerial imagery, or locations with no as-builts available. Below is a list of items to note during field observations in addition the ones mentioned in Section 2.2
:

Sight distance at intersections;

Driveway spacing;

Lighting (e.g., intersection, safety, continuous);

Signage (e.g., guide signs, speed limits, lane assignments);

Pedestrian ramps;

Pavement markings;

Bicycle lanes/wide shoulders;

Shared-used paths/sidewalks/worn dirt paths;

Above-ground utilities;

Other potential conflicts and environmental constraints;

Condition of existing elements; and

Traffic signals
