In determining whether the location, width, grade, length and alignment

will be given to the location of existing streets and highways and other proposed

and public safety.
A proposed street or highway shall intersect or join an existing state
or county highway or an existing Town highway which has been improved to the
satisfaction of the Town Superintendent of Highways.
The intersection or junction of a proposed street or highway with an
existing state or county highway shall be approved by the New York State Department

acceptance.
A particular proposed street or highway shall intersect or join an existing
street or highway or other proposed street or highway in such manner that
the intersection or junction shall consist of not more than four vehicular
outlets.
At intersections and junctions, each right-of-way boundary of a proposed
street or highway shall connect with the right-of-way boundary of an existing
street or highway or the right-of-way boundary of another proposed street
or highway by means of a simple curve, the radius of which shall not be less
than 25 feet, or by means of the long chord of such curve.
The right-of-way of a proposed street or highway shall not be less than
