All street pavement widths on streets continued from previously developed or platted streets shall, wherever practical, provide for the greater of either the existing or required pavement type, width, grade and cross slope.
(b) 
Where it is necessary to provide for a transition of pavement width and/or type between new and existing streets, the transition shall occur in a safe manner at an intersection. In the event a transition in pavement width cannot safely occur at an intersection, it shall not occur closer than 250 feet to the intersection of right-of-way lines. In width transitions, the ratio of the transition length to width shall not be less than 15:1 unless the Village Engineer determines that special circumstances prevent use of such ratio, in which case the minimum transition ratio shall be 10:1.
(14) 
Curb and gutter. Combination concrete curb and gutter is required on all streets. Refer to § 265-25 describing requirements for curbs and gutters.
(15) 
Post-construction traffic limited. No vehicular traffic shall be permitted on the pavement for a minimum period of between 24 and 72 hours following paving, as determined necessary by the Village Engineer to protect the new pavement.
C. 
Final inspection. Upon completion of the proposed highway, the Village Engineer will proceed to make a final inspection, accepting or rejecting the street as the case may be. After all of the provisions of this chapter have been complied with, the roadway or easement will be inspected by Village officials and, at that time, proof will be made by the presenting of waivers of liens or receipted bills that all work that has been done has been paid for, or arrangements have been made for payment through written instrument by the subdivider. If the street is rejected, corrections shall be made as required by the Village Board, upon the Village Engineer's recommendation, before final inspection can then be made again. If final acceptance is then made, the owner or owners shall turn over to the Village the deed of all land necessary for the street as previously mentioned.
