I would call it a hazard to two-wheel velocipedes.?ÿ That side flow against a light-weight vehicle could be quite dangerous.?ÿ Far worse than grass clippings blown into the street.

I'll code it how ever the agreed upon definition is presented. In a pinch I'd just Conc away and adjust in office.

I'm done memorizing things other people can define and communicate with me through a file or God forbid a flip book like I used not too long ago.

FXL and similar in the DC are good tools too.

Code away!

valley gutter is what we call it on plans here. typically required when street grades are less than 1% at an intersection or entrance/driveway

My observation of the Continuum of answers belies the same thing in the differences and complexity of the licenses across each of the states. Like the liquor laws, there's no one communal correct answer.

Interesting.

I don't have a name for it, but if I encounter one I'll run 2 Edge of Concrete lines and a break line down the middle. The contours will tell the story. It won't need a special name.

Nevertheless, when one of these runs down the center of an alley or road it is called a valley gutter.?ÿ

@field-dog valley describes its form, cross describes function.

@jph?ÿ Valley gutter. That's a common method of runoff management here in the northern plains where we average only about 15 inches of rain annually. Catch basins and underground piping are rare.
