Some people think the current-standard residential cul-de-sac subdivision is just fine, combining convenience and safety by limiting through movements where children live. Others, including recent article writers, call it a rat maze and believe a return to the older grid patterns will solve our current traffic-related woes. Thanks to the new Secondary Street Acceptance Requirements (SSAR) adopted by VDOT, VDOT agrees with the grid, and regardless of your feelings, SSAR applies and will affect future (and ongoing) development and the land use decisions of increasingly cash-strapped local governments. And, VDOT wins either way.
