Street intersections shall be as nearly at right angles as is possible and in no case shall be less than 80°. Approaches to all intersections shall follow a straight line for at least 100 feet or a curve with a radius of not less than 600 feet. No more than two streets shall meet or intersect at any point, and the center lines of both intersecting streets shall pass through a common point.
5.
A tangent of at least 100 feet shall be provided between reverse curves on collector streets.

Culs-de-sac shall be no more than 1,250 feet in length and shall provide access to no more than 80 dwelling units. A turnaround shall be provided at the end of the cul-de-sac with a paved turning radius of 40 feet and right-of-way in the case of public streets of 100 feet.
