Where the Transportation Plan shows a roadway on the map in the same location as a route for which the California Transportation Commission has adopted a precise route or plan, it is the intention of this chapter to indicate the same route or plan as adopted by the California Transportation Commission.

(Ord. 760 § 7, 1962; SCC 0778 § 2, 1989; SCC 1453 § 7, 2010)

Specified widths will vary in accordance with the County Street Improvement Standards to accommodate turning lanes and bus turnouts adjacent to intersections and to accommodate bus turnouts at midblock locations and other needs.

The Director is hereby authorized to make minor adjustments to the right-of-way widths for County roadways designated by the Transportation Plan and "Section 4, Street Design" of the County Improvement Standards" to accommodate special traffic, economic, or environmental conditions commensurate with traffic capacity and safety considerations.
