(2) 
Street intersections shall be as nearly as practical at right angles and in no case shall be less than 60°. No more than two streets shall intersect at any one point. In no case shall a street intersect another street at a distance of less than 150 feet between centerlines of the intersecting streets measured along the centerline of the street intersected.
(3) 
Dead end streets (cul-de-sac) shall be provided with a turnaround having a radius of not less than 40 feet on the curbline, together with additional right-of-way of not less than eight feet around the entire curbline.

Curbs shall have minimum dimensions of 6x8x18 inches with a battered face. The curb shall extend six inches above the street pavement. Curbs shall have premolded, nonextruding expansion joints at intervals not exceeding 20 feet and shall also be provided with contraction joints at intervals of not more than 10 feet. Curbs shall be finished with a smooth float finish and shall have a one inch radius at the top of the street face. Curbs shall be installed on both sides of all streets. Curbs shall be depressed at all locations where sidewalk and pedestrian crosswalks intersect any street for handicap accessibility in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act regulations.
C. 
Sidewalks. Sidewalks shall be installed on both sides of all streets and shall not be less than four feet in width. Concrete sidewalks shall be four inches in thickness except at driveways, where they shall be six inches in thickness and shall be reinforced with welded wire fabric, No. 10 wire, spaced at six inches each way or other approved reinforcement. Sidewalks shall be constructed of portland cement concrete having a twenty-eight-day strength of not less than 4,000 pounds and shall be provided with premolded 1/2 inch expansion joints at intervals not exceeding 20 feet and shall be provided with contraction joints at intervals of not more than five feet. Sidewalks shall have a slope of 1/4 inch per foot toward the curb and shall be sufficiently higher than the curb to provide for adequate drainage. Sidewalks shall be depressed at driveways for vehicles entering or leaving the property and shall be designed in accordance with Design Standards for Curb Ramps for the Physically Handicapped as promulgated by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Sidewalks shall be finished with a broom finish having the striations at 90° to the direction of the traffic. Sidewalks shall be set back from the curb not less than three feet in residential areas and not less than four feet in business areas or on collector streets.
