Section 2: Transitions
When Required
Wherever two areas requiring different mowing widths are adjacent,
a smooth and gradual
transition
should be achieved
to visually blend the two areas.Examples: A transition would be required between:
- the designated strip mowing width and the greater width required around a sign
- an area that is mowed full width and a non-mow area
- the designated strip mowing width and the extra width required to maintain sight distances at a curve, driveway or intersection.
Rate
The rate of transition should be gradual enough to allow adequate sight distances for prevailing traffic conditions and also provide a smooth visual effect.
