I would guess Sight Triangle.?ÿ

So what's the angle of the dangle??ÿ You know, where does the sight triangle end.?ÿ You can see where it starts but that's only half the data needed.

@jpb

Thank you sir!?ÿ ?ÿ Doesnt it seem a little weird to have a site triangle on a very small, golfing community road that ends in a cul-de-sac??ÿ

@holy-cow

Great point.?ÿ But it's a subdivision plat of a golfing community laid out in rural NC in 1989.?ÿ ?ÿI must admit, I've see worse.

Yes, but sometimes things don't make sense. Especially when considering governmental entities.?ÿ It was also just a guess, it could be something else.?ÿ

Wait a minute!! They allow pasture pool in your state????ÿ I thought it was either flat and marshy or steep and rocky with no in-between.

@holy-cow
There isn't any in-between!?ÿ ?ÿIt's simply "Swampy" Pasture Pool ... with snakes, skeeters, and gators.

?ÿ

Dang.?ÿ We like to throw in surface limestone bedrock in places so that if the ball happens to hit that little bare patch out there it will bounce 300 feet in "some" direction before hitting a grassy surface.?ÿ The 14" diameter by 4" high platters of defecatory material add a special element of home course advantage depending on the duration of time since the creation of said platter of material by the wandering quadruped. ???? ?????ÿ

@firestix youƒ??re in NC I believe. NCDOT requires 10x70 sight triangle easements at all intersections typically within subdivisions. NCDOT has a manual for minimum design criteria on subdivisions thatƒ??ll be super helpful to any surveyor dealing with residential stuff here

@ncsudirtman

Know nothing about NC, but was that NCDOT policy in existence in 1989 and would it be directly applicable to a side street in a subdivision.?ÿ Or would it just be something to emulate as being a good idea?

@firestix

Yes - but there was probably some sort of government involved...

Maybe St means street.

Like "Rodeo St."

Or Golf Lane

Sight Triangle is a better answer, but that was already taken.

N

@holy-cow so each division seems to vary on this & it's ultimately up to the division engineer (there's 10 divisions across NC & each has their own design criteria as things such as terrain conditions from the coast to the mountains as well as whether it's an addition on to an existing subdivision will dictate). I had a very long/annoyed rant that I had typed up but since I'm a PE and have to deal with all these agencies fairly frequently during development I'll suffice it to say that you find something new to amaze you each day when it comes to our regulatory agencies' rules (NCDOT, NCDEQ - all divisions, USACE for wetlands, etc.)

@firestix

Those are NCDOT secondary roads. It doesn't matter if the road ends in a pig farm. 10x70 site triangles are required at intersections.

@rundatline

So what do you do if you are on a curve or otherwise don't have 70 feet of straight road?

@nate-the-surveyor

Honestly ... I totally saw that coming.?ÿ I even "teed" it up for ya!?ÿ Aint that right @holy-cow?

Much of what shows up on drawings are according to the codes of the area the subdivision is being created and the due diligence carried out by the designing party.

We would always design roads to where an 80+ft truck and trailer would be able to get into and out of a subdivision without having to get off the roadway width.

Lots of truckers, mobile home dwellers and farm equipment and tree equipment going everywhere around here.

@holy-cow

It's measured straight line distance along the row from the intersection point of both row's extended.
