Width of Limited Secondary Highways. Where the advisory agency finds that the traffic or drainage conditions warrant, the area indicated by the asterisk in Diagram 3 shall be shown as a future or dedicated right-of-way.

Wherever any highway within a division of land intersects any railroad, interurban, or streetcar right-of-way, and such highway is shown upon the Highway Plan, and provision is made in such plan for the location of a separation of grades at such intersection, the road layout of the division of land shall be such as to conform to such plan.

Each lot abutting upon a proposed cut or fill necessary for the approach to such grade separation shall be given suitable access elsewhere.

C.
