1. Approve new streets which are beneficial to the public in consideration of efficiency of circulation, vehicular and pedestrian safety, influence on the amenities and livability of the community and neighborhoods, and economy of the use of the land;

2. Encourage, through land use and platting decisions, directing increased traffic volumes onto streets with sufficient capacity to provide safe and efficient traffic flow or where adequate traffic improvements will be provided in conjunction with the development, require adequate vehicular and pedestrian access to new developments, and minimize pedestrian-vehicular conflict points;

3. Access to properties should be oriented away from properties which are used, zoned or shown on the comprehensive plan less intensively;

4. Approve neighborhood street systems which are designed for a relatively uniform low volume of traffic, and which are designed to minimize through traffic movements and discourage excessive speeds in residential areas, but which also minimize the need for circuitous travel;

5. Facilitate, to the extent possible, maximum efficiency and safety to the through street systems;

6. Encourage shared driveways of properties which are similarly used;

7. Encourage land uses which would generate relatively low volumes of traffic, or complementary peak traffic periods, or would have the potential to increase the use of public transportation systems;

8. In order for the responsible official to review proposals with respect to these policies, plans should be provided for any proposed action (unless waived by the responsible official), showing ingress and egress.
