Each of.these elements mus[ be carefully ', examined with regard to safety, economy, and aesthetics. ; ;:� . � � � Route Selection., The primary consideration in route selection is the safe ' and expeditious movement of people from one point co another, but social, . ecauomic, and environmental factors must be consldered. Route selection '"" should be based on the capabilities of the land to support the roadway and : on providing the best traveling conditions for the people it serves. It � should provide sufficient right-of-vay•for proper landscaping between curb , ry��:x«�.' �-°? . lines and adjacent private property. Right-of-vay vid[hs should vary to - '�� avoid the "tunnel" effect common to all linear elements. " '��� Landform. The roadvay should compliment ra[her than detract from the ,� ,i::� ' . existing landForm. Sensitive grading can mesh the roadway with surrounding �� �;" land. Sever embankmen[s and cuts should be avoided and slope tops and i :�f feet should be rounded to establish a more natural appearance. Special `�" _ grading effects should be used to emphasize scenic vievs or deemphasize � ���� unattractive areas. Varying the vertical alignment of opposing traffic � -� ;%�,; _ lanes of a divided zoadvay.increases safety uhile affording•creative � j ? �� landscape'treatments. ' { %;�; , •'Existin� Features. All existirig features shauld be studied in terms of •i �.>.� . the [otal roadway setting. These features include existing vegetation, . � � walls and fences, buildings and vistas. Some features can be used to � *fi enhance the roadway design, such as an existing stand of mature trees or :"-Y. . . . interesting buildiRgs. Other features may need to be screened from view `�-� . �such as industrial storage areas, or construction areas. Preservation of ' ;�;. natural features and plant growth is a prime objec[ive. Additional tree plairting or use of hedges can aid screening where required. :�: ' ::�'� � Safety Features. Planting design should consider the speed at which th� . S�� . vehicle will be traveling along the roadway. High speed sections should i , :�.� have larger groups of plants to avoid confusion and maintain continuity. t �;j ;�= The use of a few selected plant varieties is more desirable then the use of i.� ;� many. Smaller plants are best Where speeds are lover and, therefore, visu�l impact more pronounced,such as near intersections. . �ii..i. . . � - • . � . � %f Dense wedian strip planting should be introduced on curves to block the gla:e i '�! i;i -- • of oncaming headlights at night. On straight-aways, medians should be planted � �;-'� 'wlth trees and ground cover, avoiding shrub usage. The ultimace growth of x :';.� � plant materials chosen should be in scale vith the stretch of roadway and� ; ;�:� the environmen[ in vhich they appear. This is especially iR,:or!a_i_ ait� , '��.� regazds to sight distance at intersec[ions. �:^_ . . , . 'F, t,,.j , Planting Design.' In order for a road to be a linking element within a 3^ eommunity, it should have a.continuity of character. Basic planting patterns :� and.similar plant materials should be used ehroughout the length of. the route. This does not preclude adapting certain areas of the route ta differe�t � , , ' • ecological zones in order to conform to existing condi[ians. Urban, suburban, Z:.` ' rural, and wild areas along the route would call for very different landscape �-: treatments although basic materials vould remain the same. , *;,� . � . . � r `£�+<. . 9 .

However, continued ' � development of this zone will lead to a narrower highway prism ' and loss of rural character and the open spacious views of the ' 's valley. , } . "4 ' 2, Use of native plan[ materials indigenous to the valley floor will ',�� retain the natural rural character o£ the highway corridor. Key . �` i • factors in plants found on the valley floor are natural streams, f •�' � irrigation ditches and north - south exposures. These natural . ro �• . rural characteristics should be retained.
