The street system of the Planned Residential Development shall be designed so as to relate harmoniously with land uses within and adjacent to the development through the establishment of a hierarchy of roadway functions, which includes internal collector and local streets, to create a separation of automobile and pedestrian traffic through the coordinated design of streets, dwelling units, common open space areas and pedestrian walkways, to create efficient and safe connections with the existing road system of the municipality in order to ensure proper ingress and egress to and from the PRD and to minimize through traffic in residential areas.
(2) 
Except in a PRD-2 District, internal collector streets and local streets in the PRD shall be so designated and shall have a minimum right-of-way of 50 feet and a minimum cartway width of 28 feet and 24 feet, respectively.
