GUIDELINES FOR CLEARING AND

GRADING

• Clearing and grading of lot shall

be performed in strict accordance
with the approved plans and
specifications.

• It shall not impede or alter

existing drainage patterns.

• All areas shall be left clean from

rubbish or litter.

• All areas graded shall be re-

established with approved ground
vegetation.
GUIDELINES FOR TRAIL CONSTRUCTION

• Access footpaths shall be at least 0.90 - 1.80

meters in width

• The vegetation that will be removed shall only

be those that must be sacrifice for the minimum
recommended trail width.

• The maximum linear grade =15 percent.

• Trails should have sloping banks to control

erosion and to enable vegetation to catch
quickly and cover the new cut and fill surfaces.

• Where wall constructions are necessary to

stabilize the side of a trail, the wall should be
built on a natural rock foundation and the base
of the wall should equal one-half of the height.
• Where there is a steep dangerous drop-
off below the trail, the trail width = 2 or
2.5 meters.

• Trails should have proper provisions for

drainage.

• Trails and access ways shall be well

defined through the use of natural
barriers such as plantings and ground
cover.

• Trails should connect all necessary

points in the simplest and most direct
manner.
 CRITERIA FOR RURAL ROADS

• Design Speed: 25 kph in mountainous

areas and 60 kph in flat areas.

• Minimum radius of curvature: 30 meters

in mountainous areas and 100 meters in
flat areas.

• Maximum gradient: 15 %

• Road surface: 4-5 meters wide with

slopes of 2-4% slopes towards the drains.

• Width of shoulder: 1.5 -2 meters with

slopes of 3-5 % towards the drains.
