E 380 Intersection Grades Controlled by Street Classification

Wherever possible, grades will be laid straight across intersecting streets without the use of benches. Where, due to steep grades, the use of a bench is unavoidable, the street of major importance will preferably be laid straight and the intersecting street benched.  In the case of a T intersection, the through street will be on a straight grade and the grade of the side street may be flattened as necessary to meet the plane of the through street.
