Section 130. Neotraditional developments

Streets maintained with public transportation funds should be able to safely accommodate the effective and efficient movement of those expected to use those streets. Consequently, the design of streets intended for maintenance by the department within neotraditional or other unique developments also must comply with all applicable provisions of these requirements and the department's applicable design criteria.

The Subdivision Street Design Guide (24VAC30-91-160) offers additional guidance on neotraditional developments and acceptable unique features typically seen in these types of developments. The utilization of many neotraditional concepts and traffic calming features can normally be accomplished within the flexibility available within VDOT's subdivision street design criteria, and specific requests for exceptions when requests cannot be accommodated should be in writing to the resident engineer.
