This is a placeholder pattern page, written to demonstrate how the page components fit together, not the final pattern text.
#Design speed
Local streets carry a hard 20 mph maximum, with no exceptions.1 Design speed is always set equal to the posted speed limit, so the roadway is self-enforcing rather than relying on signage alone.2
Caution
Stroads, a street and arterial road hybrid, are an explicit avoid pattern within the Commonway System.
#Intersection treatment
The default Local-to-Collector intersection treatment is a continuous sidewalk, carrying the pedestrian path across the intersection at a consistent grade and giving priority to people walking.3
Roundabouts are the default intersection control across road-type pairings; traffic signals are treated as a last resort requiring documented justification.
Unsourced claim
The specific crash-reduction figure for continuous sidewalks at this intersection type still needs a source before publication.
