LOOPED LOCAL ROADS

Nobody wants fast through traffic
Going by their homes.

T JUNCTIONS
Traffic accidents are far more
frequent where two roads cross than
at t junctions.

GREEN STREETS
There is too much hot hard asphalt
in the world. A local road, which only
gives access to buildings, needs a
few stones for the wheels of the
cars: nothing more. Most of it can
still be green.

GENERAL
APPLICATION
Loop local
roads provide
a shortcut for
cars to avoid
traffic. Lay
out local
roads so that
they form
loops. This should not serve more than
50 cars and it should be narrow of
approximately 17-20 feet.
Lay out the
road system
where any
roads will
meet in
three-way T
junction.
Avoid
intersections and crossing movements to
prevent traffic accidents.
On local
road a road
that is
closed to
through
traffic, plant
grass all
over the
road and set
paving stone to form a surface for the
wheels of the cars. Make no distinction
between street and sidewalk.
Layout

LOCAL
APPLICATION

Local
roads should not allow people without destinations
on them to use them as shortcuts. They should
intersect each other at 3-way T's.

Junction.
Avoid 4way
intersections, preferring T junctions.
Intersecting one-way roads are fine.

Network of Paths and Cars

Cars are dangerous to pedestrians;
yet activities occur just where cars
and pedestrians meet.

Main Gateways
Any part of town large or small
which is to be identified by its
inhabitant by a precinct of some
kind, will be reinforced, helped in its
distinctness, marked and made
more vivid, if the paths which enter
it are, marked by gateways where
they cross the boundary.

pedestrian paths at right angle to roads,

not along them, so that the path begins
to form a second network distinct from
the road system and orthogonal to it.
Always put them in the middle of the
block, so they ran across the road.
Gateways mark the
point of boundary. It
can be a literal
gate, a bridge, an
avenue of trees
etc., all of these are
solid entities not
just merely gaps or
holes.
