Arterial Streets

- Minimum of 15 feet beyond the excavation
- Where multiple patches are created and the separation between them is less than 100 feet, the patches shall be combined into a single patch.
- The patches shall be adjusted in the field to meet special conditions such as previous paving or patching limits.
- Width of Patch (all dimensions are curb face to face)
- All Streets except divided or one-way roadways
- Street width of 0 - 24 feet wide: Patch entire street width
- Street width of 25 to 37 feet wide: Patch one-half the street width (curb to centerline of roadway). Note: Utility Engineer may adjust paving limit to correspond with a painted centerline in situations where the painted centerline is not in the center of the street.

- If the lane is a bike lane and adjacent to a parking lane, include the parking lane.
- If the lane is a bike lane and not adjacent to a parking lane, include the adjacent travel lane.
- Divided Roadways and One-Way Streets
- Street 0 to 19 feet wide: Patch entire street width.
- Street width 20 feet and up: Patch width of entire lane for each lane which was disturbed by the excavation.
