Abstract

This paper addresses the spacing of streets and its impact on scale. It compares the spacing/design of city streets and suburban highways, identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each, and suggests spacing guidelines for various urban and suburban environments. It shows how providing arterial streets at closer intervals improves access opportunities, reduces traffic concentrations where these streets meet, and allows reduced cross sections.
