Figure 2.2. Road Reserve The following road reserve widths are applicable for the different rural road classes: Table 2.5: Rural road reserve width Functional Road reserve (m) Major Arterial 40 -60 Arterial 40 -60 Major Collector 40 Minor Collector 25 Major Local 9 20 – Local 9 10 – Local Access 9 10 – The reduced widths should be adopted only when it is found necessary for economic, financial or environmental reasons in order to preserve valuable land, resources or existing development or when provision of the desirable width would incur unreasonably high costs because of physical constraints. For dual carriageway roads it may be necessary to increase the road reserve width above the given values. As a general rule the road reserve boundary should be at a distance from the centerline of the nearest carriageway equal to half the road reserve width for single carriageway roads. Table 2.6: Urban road reserve width Functional Class Road reserve (m) Major Arterial 60 80 – Minor Arterial 20 45 – Major Collector 18 40 –
