Street Design Manual

3.2.2 A - Neighborhood Yield Neighborhood Yield is an unstriped two-way street accommodating parallel parking on one side. Neighborhood Yield streets operate best under low speed and volume conditions, giving opposing vehicle drivers the time and space necessary to successfully negotiate potential conflicting movements and serving no more than 40 units and no longer than ½ mile. Sidewalks are required on both sides of the street. Items in the amenities zone such as streetlights and trees should be installed at a pedestrian scale so as to provide a high level of comfort for residents and non- motorized street users. Neighborhood Yield is conducive to the use of GSI practices including curbside bioretention and permeable pavement in sidewalks.
