utility is permitted within the easements.

Easements are to remain free and clear of all obstructions both above ground
and below ground.

7. SEPARATION / LOCATION FOR WATERMAINS, SANITARY AND STORM


SEWERS AND UTILITIES

Road Allowance

Watermain location shall be in accordance with municipal road cross sections as


approved by the Region of Durham.

The standard road allowance shall be in keeping with the Lower Tier
Municipality’s cross-section, including the installation of underground services.

Watermains may be located in the road or boulevard a minimum of 0.5 m from a


storm sewer catch basin. The distance shall be measured from the nearest
edge.

Where possible, watermains shall typically be located on the north or east side of
the road or in keeping with the approved Lower Tier standard cross section.
Where a significantly larger number of service connections or vacant lots with
development potential on the opposite side of the road are proposed, contact
Region of Durham Development Approvals.

Hydrants shall be located a minimum of 1.0 m from the centerline of the hydrant
secondary valve and 1.5 m from the centerline of the watermain. Hydrants shall
be located in the boulevard 1.0 m minimum from all utilities. No other utilities
shall be located between the watermain and hydrant.

Sanitary sewers shall be located 1.5 m from the centerline of the road and a
minimum of 3.0 m from centerline of the storm sewer and a minimum of 1.5 m
from the foundation drain. For common trench installation details, refer to the
Region of Durham standard drawings.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 16
ENGINEERING SUBMISSIONS

Parallel Installations

Under normal conditions, watermains shall be laid with a least 2.50 m horizontal
separation from any sewer or sewer maintenance hole. The distance shall be
measured from the nearest edge.

Watermain, Sanitary and Storm Sewer Crossings

Watermains shall normally cross above sewers with sufficient vertical separation
(minimum 0.25 m) to allow for proper bedding and structural support of the
watermain and sewer main.

When it is not possible for the watermain to cross above the sewer, the
watermain passing under the sewer shall be protected by providing:

• A vertical separation of at least 0.5 m between the invert of the sewer and the
crown of the watermain.

• Adequate structural support for the sewer to prevent excessive deflection of


joints and settling.

• The length of water pipe shall be centred at the point of crossing so that the
joints will be equidistant and as far as possible from the sewer.

A minimum clearance of 0.25 m shall be maintained between the outside wall of


the pipe barrels at the point of crossing for sanitary and storm sewers.

Utility Crossings

Where watermains cross over or under utilities other than sewers, the clearance
and type of crossing provided shall conform to the requirements of the particular
utility involved and provide the proper bedding and structural support of the
watermain and utility.

Other

For all other conditions, refer to the MOE “Procedures to Govern the Separation
of Sewers and Watermains” and the MOE document “Watermain Design Criteria
for Future Alterations Authorized Under a Drinking Water Works Permit”.

with conditions which need to be cleared. All other Regional works constructed
by developers will be facilitated with servicing agreements. The same process is
followed for both types of agreements.

The draft agreement will be prepared by the Region of Durham Works


Department and forwarded to the Region of Durham Legal Department. The
Legal Department will then prepare the final agreement and arrange for
execution of the agreement by the Region of Durham.

Prior to the preparation of the draft agreement, the Region of Durham must be in
receipt of the following information:

• Ministry of the Environment Certificates of Approval for Region of Durham


services to be constructed for the proposed subdivision

• A completed Subdivision or Servicing Agreement Information Checklist form


(see Appendices)

• A detailed cost estimate (based on tender prices) prepared by an engineer for


Region of Durham services to be constructed for the subdivision

• Three (3) copies of the signed general plan

• Three (3) copies of the proposed final plan (40M) or (40R) of subdivision

Alteration must be completed, verified by a professional Engineer and by a
representative of the Region of Durham prior to the work.

The type of works covered under the current transfer program are as follows:

Sewer Systems

• sanitary and storm sewers (excluding new outfalls)

• sanitary sewage pumping stations except those discharging directly to


a sewage treatment plant

• forcemains and inverted siphons

• rehabilitation of existing (rehabilitation of same size and location does


not require approval)

• storm management facilities (quantity control only)

The transfer of approvals program does not currently include the following:

Sewer Systems

• sewage treatment works and storm outfalls

• storm water management (quality control)

• sanitary sewage pumping stations discharging directly to sewage


treatment works

• sewers with overflows

1. INTRODUCTION

In general, the geometric design of Durham’s regional roads shall follow the
Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) Geometric Design Guide for
Canadian Roads (most recent version) and the specifications listed here.

A design criteria document is required to be prepared for each project. The


document shall include the criteria used for the various project components and
any deviation from the standards, with applicable justification for the deviations.

The design criteria document shall be submitted to the Region for approval.

Details shall be provided for any approved special provisions required due to
unique physical conditions on the site or for existing or future design conditions
such as retaining walls, slope protection, culverts, bridges or special crossfall
conditions.

2. GEOMETRIC DESIGN

The design speed shall be the selected in consultation with the Region, based on
Secion 1.2.3.3 of the TAC Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads, which
considers the following:

• General terrain and physical features of the road (horizontal & vertical
alignment land & shoulder width, etc.)
• 85 percentile of the operating speed (existing and anticipated post
construction).
• Adjacent land use and character of the road (urban or rural)
• Road classification.

Considering context sensitive design, the design speed may be reduced to be 10


km/h over the posted speed when the posted speed is 50 km/h.

In each case, the existing and planned roadway corridor characteristics should
be considered.

Regional Roads shall be designed to satisfy safe sight distance requirements per
TAC - Geometric Design section 1.2

Longitudinal profile grade changes in excess of 1.5% are to include vertical “K”
curves. The vertical curvature shall be based on TAC - Geometric Design section
2.1.3.3.

Horizontal curvature shall be based on TAC - Geometric Design section 2.1.2.2.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 2
ROADS AND ENTRANCEWAYS

The combination of the horizontal and vertical geometry of the road shall be
reviewed for safety based on TAC – Geometric Design section 2.3.2.4.

Road Allowance Cross-Sections


The road allowance cross-section shall be based on details S-300.010 and S-
300.020 or as specified by the Region.

Typical lane and shoulder dimensions are listed below.

Through Lanes:
- Rural 3.5m

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 3
ROADS AND ENTRANCEWAYS

- Three lane urban 3.5 m


- Four and six lanes urban 3.5m
Auxiliary Lanes:
- Left Turn no median 3.5m
- Left Turn with median 3.3m
- Right Turn 3.5m
Shoulders width per TAC Table 2.2.4.1. In addition, when guiderail is used, the
minimum shoulder width is 2.5m.
The minimum width of the paved portion of the shoulder is 0.5m.

The minimum width of new sidewalk on all structures shall be 1.8 m.

For superelevated sections of urban roadway, standard curb and gutter (not
superelevated) with drainage inlets, where required, shall be placed on the high
side to prevent sheet flow across the road.

A review of the roadside safety for each road shall be completed using the
current version of the MTO Roadside Safety Manual. For further details refer to
the Traffic section in these design specifications.

3. ROAD PAVEMENT AND DRAINAGE DESIGN

Pavement Structure
The pavement design for arterial roads will be determined for each project based
on a geotechnical (soils) investigation for the project site. The investigation shall
include road borehole samples at critical locations, as well as pavement cores,
test pits, groundwater monitoring wells, and other means as approved by the
Region. A geotechnical report will be prepared to document the analysis of the
existing and proposed conditions and to provide recommendations for the design
and construction. The method of analysis shall be based on applicable and
industry acceptable guidelines such as AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement
Structures and ‘Guideline for Professional Engineers Providing Geotechnical
Engineering Services' (1993) published by Professional Engineers Ontario. The
composition and thickness of the road pavement shall be designed considering
the following factors:

• Mechanics of the subgrade soils (including strength, chemical/physical


parameters, drainage, and frost susceptibility)
• Existing/proposed local drainage characteristics
• The pavement Structural Number (SN) and Design Service Life (20 year
normally)
• The future volume and class of traffic expected to use the pavement (ESAL)

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 4
ROADS AND ENTRANCEWAYS

• Other project-specific factors (i.e. adjacent land use, plans for future
widenings or buried infrastructure, etc.)

For road widening projects, rehabilitation of the existing pavement shall be


considered based on a pavement condition survey and consultation with
Regional staff. At least two alternative rehabilitation strategies shall be presented
and evaluated by the Geotechnical Engineer in a draft (preliminary) report. In
consultation with the Region of Durham, a suitable option will be selected and
presented in the final report.

The proposed pavement structure for the road widening shall match or exceed
the existing pavement structure.

As a minimum, a typical hot-mix asphalt road structure will include:


Type A arterial roads:
- 160mm HMA
- 150mm Granular A
- 600mm min. Granular B Type 1 Modified
Type B and C arterial roads:
- 140 mm HMA
- 150mm Granular A
- 600mm min. Granular B Type 1 Modified

The bottom of the base course (Granular B Type 1 Mod.) shall match the existing
subgrade depth, up to 1.2m below the proposed road surface.

For all rural roads, include a minimum of 0.5m of full depth pavement beyond the
edge of the travelled lane. If additional width of partially paved shoulder is
required it will consist of the two top asphalt courses.

The Geotechnical report will include, but not be limited to, the following sections:
Field Investigation
• Existing pavement condition survey (with photos)
• Existing drainage condition assessment
• Geotechnical investigation
• Pavement coring (with photos)
• Rutting Investigation

Soils and Pavement Analysis


• Existing pavement structure (for each road segment)
• Topsoil and organics (locations and depth)
• Subgrade soils (types, depths, and variances)
• Groundwater (depths and variances)

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 5
ROADS AND ENTRANCEWAYS

• Pavement coring at strategic locations


• Rutting evaluation

Laboratory Testing
• Physical characteristics of granular base/subbase and subgrade soils
(grain size, moisture content, and Atterberg Limits where appropriate)
• Environmental chemical analysis results (soil and water where
appropriate)

Recommendations
The discussion and recommendations in each report will vary based on site-
specific requirements; however in most cases the following items will be required:
• Traffic loading and structural analysis
• Proposed pavement structure and rehabilitation, including cost analysis in
support of at least two proposed designs
• Crack repairs, as applicable
• Stripping depth of topsoil/organic materials
• Subgrade preparation, proof rolling
• Asphalt mix types
• Construction, use of earth cut, compaction requirements
• Drainage recommendations
• Groundwater and water taking control
• Pavement transitions
• Additional information such as BH plans, BH logs / records (with station,
offset and elevations), asphalt core data with photos, grain size
distribution curves, etc.

Consideration should be given in the investigation to alternative road construction


materials, such as concrete pavement, where appropriate.

Drainage
Culverts shall be designed in accordance with MTO Highway Drainage Design
Standards (2008).

The minimum culvert size for road crossings is 600 mm. The length of culvert
shall be determined using the depth of ditch and 4:1 side slopes (desirable).
Culverts shall be designed to accommodate a minimum of highway (H-20)
loading and soil conditions. Culverts are to be installed by open cut construction.

The overtopping design criteria used for the different design storms is to be
calculated and submitted to the Region for review and acceptance.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 6
ROADS AND ENTRANCEWAYS

Where culverts and sewers are designed within the frost depth, granular frost
tapers shall be specified. Typical frost depth is 1.2m south of Highway 407; 1.5m
north of Highway 407.

The bottom of a rural ditch is to be 0.5m below the subgrade where possible. The
minimum depth of ditch is 0.3m. Consideration should be given to incorporation
of Low Impact Development (LID) methods such as flat bottom ditches and bio
swales.

Ditch back-slopes fronting residential properties should be 4:1 or flatter to allow


for lawn maintenance.

4. INTERSECTIONS

Details S-300.030 to S-300.050 and OPSD 300.010 to 300.020 should be used


as guides for intersection design. The road grades, earth grading and the
drainage around the intersection shall be developed based on these, the
guidelines in TAC and site-specific conditions.

It is desirable to locate intersections on a tangent for increased visibility and


safety. As a guide, the length of tangent approaching the intersection should be:

a. For type “A” and type “B” arterial roads, a 200 m long tangent at the
approach to an intersection is desirable; as a minimum, the tangent shall
be equal to the stopping sight distance.
b. For type “C” arterial roads and municipal roads, a tangent length equal to
the stopping sight distance at the approach to an intersection is desirable;
as a minimum, the tangent shall be 20 m long beyond the projected edge
of pavement.

A review of the proposed sight lines and sight triangles at the intersection based
on TAC requirements is to be prepared and submitted to the Region.

Daylight triangles requirements for infrastructure may govern the Right of Way
(R.O.W.) requirements.

Turn Lanes

Left Turns:
The measurement of the sight distance to oncoming vehicles for left turns at 4-
legged signalized intersections shall account for the reduced visibility caused by
vehicles queued in the left turn lane on the opposing intersection leg.
Consider implementation of zero or positive offset left turn lane configuration at
certain signalized intersections in consultation with the Region. Zero or positive

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 7
ROADS AND ENTRANCEWAYS

offset left turn lanes may be applicable when left turning sight lines are restricted
due to:

• the intersection being located on, or close to, a horizontal curve with lanes
approaching in a counter-clockwise direction;
• the roadway being flared or widened through the intersection;
• three or more through lanes being present on opposing intersection
approaches.

Zero or positive offset left turn lanes may also be applicable when:

• an overrepresentation of turning movement type collisions exist involving left


turns and opposing through movements;

• the left turning movement will operate at LOS F or v/c ratio is 1.0 and
opposing left turn and through volumes are considered high.Right Turns:
Consider the need for right turn lanes and/or tapers on Regional roads. The need
will be assessed on a site by site basis, and should generally follow the
guidelines in the table below.

The geometric design of these should follow the Region Standard S-300.050.

Intersection Turning Radius


In general, turning radii at intersections should be kept to a minimum considering
functionality for the design vehicle and desirable vehicle speeds. Vehicle turning
path checks using the design vehicle are to be completed for all intersections and
documented in the project file. The design vehicle shall be determined in
consultation with the Region. The design shall consider the project environment:
urban/rural; number of receiving lanes; intersection angle; bus routes; location of

ROADS AND ENTRANCEWAYS

driveways; cycling / truck route etc.


The minimum turning radius at an intersection of two arterial roads is 15 m. The
typical radii used for other intersections are 12 m and 9 m.
In some situations, the turning radius will not be equivalent to the curb/edge of
pavement radius (e.g. where there are bike lanes on one or both roadways).
In urban environments on multi-lane roads, trucks may use the two outside
receiving lanes for the turns.
If a radius larger than 15 m is deemed necessary, the use of a compound curve
may be considered. Refer to S-300.030 for details.

Intersection Grades
The maximum grade of minor roadway profiles at intersections with Regional
Roads shall be based on TAC – Geometric Design section 2.3.2.3.

Side road profile grade changes approaching crownline of main road shall not
exceed an algebraic difference greater than 2.0%, if the intersection is to be
signalized as part of the project or potentially in the future.

At the intersection of two roads, transition of the minor classification road shall
have minimal impact on the major road. The profile and crossfall of the major
road is to be maintained to the extent possible.

Intersection splining design shall have regards for ride and major and minor
drainage.

5. ENTRANCEWAY/DRIVEWAY DESIGN

Entranceway refers to any private road, laneway, driveway, gate or other


structure or facility constructed as a means of access to a Region of Durham
road.

High Volume Entranceway

Refers to an entranceway providing access to and/or egress from:

• an office, retail or institutional building


• an apartment building containing more than five dwelling units
• an employee or other parking lot
• an industrial facility, warehouse or trucking terminal
• a community or regional shopping centre
• a recreational complex or other public facility

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 9
ROADS AND ENTRANCEWAYS

The design of a high volume entranceway should generally follow the criteria in
Section 4 - Intersections.

Low Volume Entranceway

Refers to an entranceway providing access to and/or egress from:

• a single family residence


• an apartment building containing not more than five dwelling units
• a farm consisting of not more than four plowable hectares or a field forming
part of a farm and used exclusively for the passage of animals and crops

Other entranceways serving land uses not covered above are subject to
interpretation by the Region of Durham as to whether the “high volume” or “low
volume” entranceway requirements will be applied.

Basic Entranceway Dimensions

Basic widths, curb spacing, radii and angles of entranceway for various land uses
in urban and rural areas are given in the following Table 2. Methods of
measurement can be found following Table 2 and are illustrated in Figure 1.

For the purpose of Table 2 below, “Urban” refers to a curbed cross section and
“Rural” refers to open ditch construction.

ROADS AND ENTRANCEWAYS

1) In Urban areas, all residential entrances shall have a minimum 1.5 m approaching
and 1.0 m departing flare in addition to the entrance width shown in the table above.
2) Recommended minimum width of 8.0m to accommodate larger farm equipment is
used. Access width to be reviewed with the farm owner/operator.
3) Minimum radius for farm entrances should consider the farm equipment used (in
consultation with the farm owner/operator) and consider the Regional Road AADT.

OPSD 351.010 (latest revision) shall be used as a guide for urban residential
design with the exception of approaching / departing flare dimensions. For
commercial entrances use OPSD 350.010, with the exception of the dimensions
specified above.

The minimum width of commercial and industrial driveways is intended to apply


to a one-way operation. The driveway width is to be measured at the edge of
road pavement between the inner limit of the curb return radius or between the
curb return radius and the near edge of a curbed island. Curbed islands shall
have a surface area of at least 30 m2.

In urban areas with pedestrian or bicycle facilities in the boulevard, the driveway
width and radius dimensions should reflect the lower range of values provided in
Table 2.

The desirable angle for any entrance should be 90 degrees. The minimum acute
angle for any entranceway, measured from the centreline of roadway should be
70 degrees.

OPSD 301.010 and OPSD 301.020 shall be used as guides for rural entrance
design.

Entranceway Design Considerations

For criteria and design parameters of turning lanes at entrances from the
Regional Road refer to TAC and the criteria in Section 4 - Intersections.

Where signalization is required for a proposed entranceway onto a Regional


Road, the design should follow the guidelines above for intersection design.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 12
ROADS AND ENTRANCEWAYS

The width of curb cut for residential driveways shall be as specified by the
Region of Durham. The width of curb cut for apartment, commercial and
industrial driveways shall take into account the basic width of the driveway and
the radius of curvature as further outlined below. Where mutual driveways are
constructed between two adjoining properties, the curb cut shall be continuous.

Continuous sidewalk, curb and gutter should be provided across any un-
signalized driveway, including a private street, where sidewalk is present at the
approaches.

If a driveway or private street is an approach to a signalized intersection, it


should generally be designed according to the above practice for public streets.

There may be reasons to vary this approach on a site-specific basis. These


cases should be discussed with the Region.

For new developments, the maximum grade permissible for an access driveway,
from the sidewalk to the garage shall be 10%. This maximum grade is not
recommended and should be employed only in exceptional cases where physical
conditions prohibit the use of lesser grades. There shall be a minimum grade of
2% towards the road from the property line to the curb line.

When the entrance design includes a right turn lane or taper, a 1.5m setback
should be provided between the back of the curb and the sidewalk or Multi Use
Path (MUP).

The profile of the entrance should slope up from the road toward the property line
to maintain the sidewalk profile across entrances and to address overland flow
containment. Refer to OPSD 310.050, Partially Depressed option as a guide.

The profile of the entrance should be designed to achieve sufficient under or


ground clearance (distance from the bottom of the vehicle body to the ground) to
prevent dragging and scraping on the vertical profile grade changes. Sharp
breaks are to be avoided.

Turn Restrictions

Where a high volume entranceway will enter onto a Regional road, the Region of
Durham may require, as a condition of access, the restriction of left turn
movements into and/or out of the access. This will be determined based on site
specific conditions.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 13
ROADS AND ENTRANCEWAYS

Control of turn restrictions will normally require the provision of raised median
along the Regional Road through the entranceway, extending at least 25 m past
the curb returns at the entranceway to restrict left-turning traffic. If feasible, the
median should be extended from the closest existing raised median.

In some cases, only when raised median provision is not possible, a trumpet
island design can be provided, based on TAC 3.2.9.1.

Sight Distance at Entranceways

Minimum sight distance requirements at high volume entranceways will be the


Minimum Decision Sight Distance, based upon the appropriate design speed, as
set out in TAC Figure 2.3.3.6.

The minimum sight distance requirements at low volume entranceways will be


the Minimum Stopping Sight Distance, based upon the appropriate design speed,
as set out in TAC Figure 2.3.3.6.

Sight distance requirements are typically based upon 1.05 m eye height and 0.38
m height of object.

Entranceway Spacing / Corner Clearance

Entranceway spacing in urban areas is generally set out in the Regional Official
Plan (Schedule E-Table E7) based on the Arterial Type. The minimum spacing is
set out in Table 2 above is applicable only where greater spacing is not possible
due to physical constraints.

Corner clearance is the distance between an intersection and an entranceway


either upstream or downstream. Minimum corner clearance dimensions are set
out in TAC Figure 3.2.8.2, depending upon the road category and the type of
intersection.

Typically the Region requires entranceways to be located outside of the


functional intersection area, and located outside of auxiliary turn lanes required
for the intersection.

Entranceway Drainage

Entranceways should be designed to prevent site drainage entering the Regional


road. In addition, drainage from the Regional road should be collected within the
road right of way and not spill onto the adjacent private property.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 14
ROADS AND ENTRANCEWAYS

Entrance culverts shall be designed for a 25 year storm event and as per
Durham Region’s standards, and shall have a minimum size of 450 mm. For
areas with known drainage concerns the road authority may require additional
design calculations and/or a larger culvert size.

The length of culvert shall be determined using the depth of ditch and 4:1 side
slopes. Culverts shall be designed to accommodate minimum of highway (H-20)
loading and soil conditions.

Entranceway Permits

A property owner must have an “Application for Property Access” approved by


the Region prior to the installation of a new or modified entranceway. Application
forms are available through the Works Department at Regional Headquarters,
the Regional Depots, or through the Region’s website.

1. DESIGN FLOWS AND WATERSHED AREA

The watershed area shall be determined from contour plans and shall include all
areas that naturally drain into the system and shall also consider all lot grading
plans for proposed developments.

A plan of the watershed area shall be prepared for submission to the Region of
Durham and shall include all affected streets, lots and watercourses. The
proposed storm sewer system shall be shown on this plan including each
maintenance hole and catch basin. Maintenance holes or catch basins shall be
provided at every change of pipe size, grade and alignment.

The watershed area outlet tributary point to each maintenance hole and catch
basin shall be clearly outlined on the storm drainage area plan with the area in
hectares (to the nearest tenth) and runoff coefficient both shown in a circle of
15 mm diameter.
4.6 ha
Thus 0.5 .

In cases where areas of different runoff coefficients are tributary to one


maintenance hole or catch basin, the areas tributary to the maintenance hole or
catch basin shall be individually outlined. The tributary area and runoff coefficient
for each area shall be shown as set out above.

In determining tributary areas to maintenance holes and catch basins, the


proposed grading of lots must be considered and taken into account in order to
maintain consistency in design.

In the case of large tributary areas under single ownership, such as shopping
centres, apartment developments, schools, etc., the design shall be prepared on
the basis of the whole area being tributary to a maintenance hole or catch basin
in an abutting storm sewer. When more than one storm sewer connection will be
necessary to serve the property in question, the appropriate area tributary to
each storm sewer connection shall be clearly shown and taken into account in
the design of the storm sewer.

In lieu of precise information on development of the whole or any part of a


watershed area, the latest approved zoning by-law and plans shall be used to
select the correct values of the runoff coefficients to be used in the design and to
determine the specific areas where they will apply.

STORM SEWERS

2. STORM SEWER DESIGN

Runoff Quantity

The design of the storm sewers shall be computed on the Region of Durham’s
Standard Storm Sewer Design Sheets (see Appendix) or similar sheets.

• All storm sewers shall be designed according to the Rational Formula where:

Q = 2.78 (A x i x R) i = 3454
Tc+20

A = Area, hectares
i = Average rainfall intensity, millimetres/hour
R = Runoff coefficient
Q = Runoff quantity, litres/second
Tc= Time of concentration, minutes

The values of the rainfall intensity “i” shall be determined using approved Rainfall
Intensity - Duration Curve and a storm frequency of 1:10 years. A storm
frequency of 1:5 years may be considered when the new storm sewer system will
discharge into an existing system. Values for the runoff coefficient "R" shall be as
approved by the Engineer who shall also determine which storm sewers shall be
designated as trunk storm sewer.

In urban areas the value of the runoff coefficient will be increased for high
magnitude storms. For the 25, 50 and 100-year events the runoff coefficient “C”
should be multiplied by the corresponding Antecedent Precipitation Index (Ca)
listed below.

Antecedent Precipitation Index (Ca) – Multiply the C value by Ca for a given


storm event:
• 25 year storm = 1.10
• 50 year storm = 1.20
• 100 year storm = 1.25

The maximum value of Ca x C is 1.00.

A minimum 15-minute Tc for entry time shall generally be allowed at the head of
the system. Smaller times of concentration may be considered for individual
situations. Other approved methods may be used for the design of storm sewers
where it is considered expedient, however, design flow values shall not be less
than those calculated using the Rational Formula.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 3
STORM SEWERS

Pipe Capacity “Q”

Manning's Formula (see Appendix) shall be used to compute both capacity and
velocity of storm sewers. The capacity of the storm sewer shall be calculated on
the pipe flowing full. This formula shall be used in conjunction with the Region of
Durham storm sewer design.

Roughness Coefficient “n”

The roughness coefficient to be used for storm sewer pipes shall be:

• Concrete
- n = 0.013 for all size of pipes

• Polyvinyl Chloride
- n = 0.013 for all size of pipes

• High Density Polyethylene


- n = 0.013 for all size of pipes

• Corrugated Steel
- n = manufacturers specifications

Velocity

The velocity in storm sewers shall be limited to a minimum of 0.75 m/s and a
maximum of 5.00 m/s.

Velocity change from one pipe to another in a maintenance hole shall not exceed
0.60 m/s.

Minimum Sizes of Pipe

Sewer mains shall be 300 mm diameter.


Catch basin connections shall be 250 mm diameter for single catch basins and
300 mm diameter for double catch basins.

Minimum Depth of Pipe

The minimum cover from finished grade to the top of pipe shall be 1.20 m.

3000 mm diameter as shown in accordance with OPSD 707.010 (latest revision).

The minimum drop across the maintenance hole for all straight runs shall be
sufficient to maintain the hydraulic grade line across the maintenance hole.

The obverts on the upstream side of a maintenance hole shall be in no case


lower than those on the downstream side.

When the dimensions of a maintenance hole exceed those on Standard


Drawings, the maintenance hole shall be individually designed and detailed.

Safety platforms shall be required in all maintenance holes greater than 5.0 m in
depth. Safety platforms shall not be more than 5.0 m apart and constructed in
accordance with OPSD 404.020 (latest revision).

1. WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM BY-LAW 89-2003

The Region of Durham’s Water Supply System By-Law 89-2003 shall comply in-
conjunction with the Region of Durham’s Design Standards or most recent
amendment.

2. DESIGN FLOWS

Watermain Capacities

Watermains shall be sized to carry the greater of maximum day plus fire flow or
maximum hour demand. Fire flow shall be calculated as outlined in the current
edition of "Water Supply for Fire Protection, A Guide to Recommended Practice"
issued by the Fire Underwriters Survey of the Insurance Bureau of Canada,
unless otherwise approved by the Region of Durham.

The minimum required fire flow for single family, detached dwellings is 4,500
L/min.

Commercial and Institutional Water Demands

A population equivalent of 86 persons per hectare shall be used to estimate the


water consumption for large commercial areas unless more specific data is
available.

The following average daily consumption rates for individual commercial and
institutional use:

Shopping Centers 2500 - 5000 L/day/1000 m


Hospitals 900 - 1800 L/bed/day
Schools 70 - 140 L/student/day
Campgrounds 225 - 570 L/campsite/day

The water usage will drop to residential usage rates during the remainder of the
day. Schools generally do not exhibit large maximum day to average day ratios
and a factor of 1.5 will generally cover this variation. For estimation of peak
demand rates, a fixture-unit approach shall be used.

The peak water usage rates in campgrounds varies with the type of facilities
provided (showers, flush toilets, clothes washers, etc.) and the ratio of these
facilities to the number of campsites. A peak rate factor of 4 shall be used.
This factor shall be applied to the average expected water usage at full
occupancy of the campsite.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 2
WATERMAINS

Industrial Water Demands

The industrial water demand shall be estimated in terms of water requirements


per hectare of industrial development if more specific data are not available.
An average day value of 45 m3/ha/day shall be used with a maximum day figure
of 90 m3/ha/day.

3. WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM PRESSURES

Water Distribution Systems/ Private Lawn Sprinkler Systems

The distribution system shall be sized to meet normal demands. The maximum
sustained operating pressures shall not exceed 700 kPa. Under conditions of
simultaneous maximum day and fire flow demands, the pressure shall not drop
below 140 kPa in the Regional portion of the Water Distribution System. Under
normal operating conditions, the pressure shall not drop below 275 kPa in the
Regional portion of the Water Distribution System.

The Ontario Building Code requires, “where the static pressure exceeds 550
kPa, a pressure reducing valve shall be installed to limit the maximum static
pressure to not more than 550 kPa in areas that may be occupied”.

As indicated in the Water Supply System By-Law 89-2003 Part II Section 7.3
indicates “The Region of Durham does not guarantee to any Consumer an
uninterrupted supply of Regional Water or that any standard of water pressure,
water quantity or water quality will be met or maintained and any failure to
provide an uninterrupted supply of Regional water or to provide an uninterrupted
supply of Regional Water or to meet any such standard shall not be construed as
neglect on part of the Region of Durham.”

4. FRICTION FACTORS

The following “C” values shall be used in the Hazen Williams equation (see the
following) for the design of water distribution systems unless actual pipe
materials and “C” factors are known:

Pipe Diameter (mm) “C” Factor


150 100
200 to 300 110
350 to 600 120
Over 600 130

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR Page 3
WATERMAINS

The Hazen Williams Equation is:

Q = 0.84918 CAR0.63S0.54
C = Coefficient of Roughness
R = Hydraulic Radius (m)
S = Slope of the Energy Grade Line (m/m)
A = Cross-Sectional Flow Area (m3)

The above “C” factors represent long-term values. A “C” factor of 140 shall be
used to calculate maximum velocities for transient pressure estimations, or for
checking pump motor sizes for run out conditions.

In evaluating existing systems for expansion, the “C” factors shall be determined
by actual field tests, wherever possible.

1. GENERAL

It is the Region of Durham’s intention that the following design requirements shall
be used as a supplement to the Ontario Traffic Manual (OTM), Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) and Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO)
standards and specifications to meet the needs of the Region of Durham. All
information is based on, but not necessarily limited to, the aforementioned
manuals. As a general guide, all signal devices, pavement markings and signage
installations shall be designed in accordance with the latest books of the OTM.
As a general guide, all roadside protection shall be designed in accordance with
the latest MTO Roadside Safety Manual (RSM).

The following design guidelines and specifications shall be used for the
preparation of all traffic control device engineering and legal drawings for Region
of Durham approval. It is difficult to completely standardize the design of traffic
control devices, however, it is intended that uniformity be ensured wherever
possible. Refer to the Engineering Submission section for additional required
drawing information.

2. SIGNAL DESIGN METHODOLOGY

The design of new traffic control devices or modifications to existing traffic control
devices may be influenced considerably by various factors. This may include
property restrictions, location of services, cost of service relocation, inherent
restrictions of existing/future road geometry and existing/conceptual traffic
conditions.

Data collection is an essential element of the design process that may establish
the type or character of an intersection treatment and traffic control device
design. The following data information shall be considered, if applicable, in the
design stage for traffic signal devices, associated pavement markings and
signage:

• Speed studies;
• Vehicle turning movement count data including pedestrian activity;
• Historical collision statistics, of the past 3 consecutive years; segregated into
annual collisions and frequency of collisions by type and pattern;
• Durham Safety Improvement Program (DSIP) Information;
• Available studies (safety audits, intersection reviews, traffic impact studies);
• Review of existing signal timing plans;
• Existing/future amenities that will impact subject intersection(s);
• Aerial photographs;
• Scope of future road works.

engineering practices and extensive traffic operation experience.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, Page 13
PAVEMENT MARKING, SIGNAGE AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

A traffic subsystem consists of a minimum of 2 traffic control signals, strategically


coordinated by time of day to achieve efficient network progression and minimize
delay. The intention is to provide main street traffic with optimized green bands to
suit the desired coordination pattern or progression flow.

A review or analysis of an existing signal network including the addition of a new


traffic signal within the network shall adhere to established rationale and follow
pattern philosophy approved by the Region. Any recommended cycle lengths
must be conducive to the Region’s established sub-system progression, level of
service and delay optimization, where applicable.

It is required that prior to any traffic signal optimization, there be initial


consultation with traffic regional staff.

Intersection Capacity Analysis

Intersection capacity and signal analysis shall be generated using the latest

Amber Clearance

Amber clearance interval is based on TCSTA and ITE Canada’s Canadian


Capacity Guide for Signalized Intersections. It shall be a function of approach
speed and grade, variable perception-reaction time, deceleration/acceleration
rate constant primarily due to gravity.

The formula shall be expressed as follows:

A = t+v/(2a+70.6g)
Where:

A = amber interval clearance time represented in seconds;

t = variable perception and reaction time represented in seconds

• 1.8 seconds for operating speeds of 70 km/h or greater


(Rural areas only)

• 1.0 second for operating speeds of less than 70 km/h;

v = operating speed (85th percentile or 10 km/h above posted) of


vehicle represented in kilometers per hour, through the intersection;

a = average deceleration rate (11 km/h/s)

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, Page 15
PAVEMENT MARKING, SIGNAGE AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

g = average approach road grade (% grade divided by 100). Measured


within 50 m of the stop line. Downhill grade is negative.

All-Red Clearance

All-red clearance interval shall be a function of the width of the intersection with
or without crosswalks, length of vehicle and approach speed.

The formula shall be expressed as follows for intersections without crosswalks:

r = 3.6(w+L)/vveh

The formula shall be expressed as follows for intersections with crosswalks:

r = 3.6(P+L)/vveh

Where:

R = length of the all-red clearance interval to the nearest 0.1 second;

3.6 = factor to convert hours to seconds;

W = width of the intersection represented in metres, measured from the


near side stop line to the farthest edge of conflicting traffic lane;

P = width of the intersection represented in metres, measured from the


near side stop line to the farthest edge of conflicting pedestrian
crosswalk line;

L = length of vehicle, generally accepted as 6.0 metres;

vveh = operating speed (85th percentile) of sampled vehicles represented


in kilometers per hour, through the intersection. For signals
installed at a tee intersection, the left turn operating speed shall be
80% of approach posted speed.

Pedestrian Walking Speed

Figure 3 shows appropriate pedestrian walking speeds represented in metres per


second (m/s) as approved by Regional Council. These walk speeds shall be
incorporated into the minimum walk interval timing formula on a site specific
basis.

Figure 3 – Pedestrian Walking Speeds

Pedestrian Crossing Walking Distance

Pedestrian walking distance is measured from the point where a pedestrian steps
into a crossing to the farthest conflicting edge of the traveled roadway through
lane. Distance is measured in both walk directions at the centre of the crosswalk
lines on all sides of the intersections (greater distance shall be used in
calculations).

Pedestrian Walk Interval

Pedestrian walk interval shall be determined using the method outlined in Traffic
Control Signal Timing and Capacity Analysis at Signalized Intersections
(TCSTCA) manual.

Pedestrian walk interval shall be a function of the length of the crossing,


appropriate walking speed and pedestrian start-up time. Where applicable, an
absolute minimum time of 5 seconds shall be used.

The formula shall be expressed as follows:

twalk= 5+0.5Dw/Vped

Where:

twalk = total pedestrian walk time represented in seconds;

5 = pedestrian start up time represented in seconds;

Dw = distance of crossing measured along the center of crosswalk


represented in metres;

Vped = pedestrian walking speed in metres per second.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, Page 17
PAVEMENT MARKING, SIGNAGE AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

Pedestrian Walk Clearance Interval

Pedestrian clearance interval shall be determined using the method outlined in


Traffic Control Signal Timing and Capacity Analysis at Signalized Intersections
(TCSTCA) manual.

Pedestrian clearance interval shall be a function of the half the length of the
crossing, appropriate walking speed, vehicle amber clearance and all-red
clearance time.

An absolute minimum time of 5 seconds shall be used. The formula shall be


expressed as follows:

tfdw = 0.5Dw/Vped-y-r

Where:

tfdw = total pedestrian clearance interval time represented in seconds;

Dw = distance of crossing measured along the center of crosswalk in


metres;

Vped = pedestrian walking speed in metres per second;

y = length of vehicle amber interval clearance time represented in


seconds;

r = length of vehicle all-red clearance interval to the nearest 0.1


second.

Countdown Pedestrian Signals (CPS)

CPS’s are used to improve the positive guidance of pedestrians and to better
convey the international crossing symbols of the walk person and flashing upright
hand. CPS shall countdown in descending fashion for the total duration of these
intervals. Proposed locations shall meet the criteria outlined in the Region’s
policy for CPS installation.

As a general guide, CPS may be installed at intersections:

• with long pedestrian crossings


• that are adjacent or in close proximity to schools
• that are adjacent or in close proximity to senior centres
• that experience a high number of pedestrians with disabilities
• that experience a high number of pedestrians

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, Page 18
PAVEMENT MARKING, SIGNAGE AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

Cycle Length Determination

In most cases, the cycle time for a signal is pre-determined by the requirements
of the signals within a network sub-system. The most critical intersection(s) in the
sub-system usually govern and its cycle time is applied to all other intersections
within the sub-system.

In all cases, the Region of Durham will review and approve all signal timing,
operational and capacity reviews for existing and new/proposed traffic control
devices.

As a guide, cycle lengths within Central Business District’s shall not exceed 70
seconds. Cycle length shall not exceed 90 seconds in all other areas unless
otherwise approved by the Region of Durham.

Signal Spacing and Access Management

Access Management of private driveways and the spacing of signalized


intersections depend greatly upon the cycle length and projected speed and flow
of traffic for a particular corridor. An emphasis should be made at the planning
stages in determining the proper spacing of signals.

Reference should be made to the approved Arterial Corridor Guidelines


(February 2007), section 3.2 Frequency of Intersections for signal spacing and
the Official Plan Amendment 114 (adopted by Regional Council on September
13, 2006).

Ideal Saturation Flow Rate in Synchro

Use the default ideal saturation flow of 1900 passenger car per hour of green per
lane (pcphgpl) for HCM related analysis. This saturation flow should also be used
for Synchro analysis.

In the absence of field measured saturation flows, a number of adjustment


factors must be considered and, if applicable, used to adjust the Ideal Saturated
Flow values on each approach lane of the intersection. These adjustment factors
are shown in the “Lane” and “Volume” Windows in Synchro.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, Page 19
PAVEMENT MARKING, SIGNAGE AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

Lane Widths in Synchro

Actual lane width should always be noted however in the absence of actual
measurements use standard lane widths of:

• 3.5 m for through lanes


• 3.25 m for exclusive left and right turn lanes
• lane width greater than 4.8m should be entered as two lanes

Approach Road Grade

Approach grades between –15% and +15% should be used in analysis. Use a
negative grade for downhill conditions.

Area Type

Central Business District (CBD) characteristics are:

• Narrow rights-of-way
• Frequent parking maneuvers
• Vehicle blockages
• Abundant taxi or bus activity or both
• Small curb radii
• Limited use of exclusive turn lanes;
• High pedestrian activity;
• Dense population (high rise apartments, condominiums or offices);
• Mid block curb cuts;
• Closely spaced intersections (<215 m.); and
• One way streets.

The above are general characteristics of a CBD environment. All these


characteristics may not necessarily be present for an intersection to be deemed
as a CBD. It is expected that the Traffic Engineering an Operations Division will
be consulted in uncertain situations.

Total Lost Time in Synchro

Use Amber plus all-red times per phase for all peaks.
The calculation of lost time associated with a fully protected left turn movement
(such as double left turns) is the same as for through movements.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, Page 20
PAVEMENT MARKING, SIGNAGE AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

Right Turn on Red in Synchro

Right turns on red (RTOR) are added to the capacity of the lane as determined
using the saturation flow rate and the effective green time. The number of right
turns (in pcus) is a function of the conflicting vehicular and/or pedestrian flows
and the presence of a right-turn lane. Field observations have shown that RTOR
tends to be zero or near zero where there are heavy conflicting pedestrian
movements.

• For operational analysis, the default value should indicate the use of RTOR
unless otherwise substantiated by field studies

• For planning analysis, include RTOR volume by especially if a separate right-


turn lane (not a bus bay) is provided since future pedestrian volumes cannot
be accurately predicted.

Right turns on red in exclusive right turn lanes should not be included if:

• The queue of through traffic normally extends beyond the start of the
exclusive right turn lane effectively hindering vehicles from turning right.

• The right turn lane is less than 15.0 m long (exclusive of taper), is being used
as a loading bay by buses and the total expected dwell time is more than 5%
of the total green time in an hour.

Lane Utilization Factor in Synchro

Field studies should be conducted, if applicable. Traffic lanes are not equally
utilized because of vehicles stopping in the curb lane, the absence of right turn
and/or left-turn lanes, vehicles wishing to turn right or left, road condition and
proximity of highway on-ramps.

The following conditions are applicable for field measured saturation flows:

• A saturation flow (SF) based on a one day SF flow study would not be
accepted unless it is factored down by 5%;

• The “factoring down” would be waived if the consultant undertook at least


three studies for the same movement on different days of the same week or
over three consecutive weekends for weekend studies; and

• In case of doubt, the Region could request details of the saturation flow study
from the consultant.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, Page 21
PAVEMENT MARKING, SIGNAGE AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

The above values are not recommended for use in planning or operational
design. Traffic patterns and characteristics may change over time so typical or
conservative values should be used to account for this possible variability.
Regardless of any field studies, the Region will not accept values in excess of the
following:
• Through movement: 2000 pcphgpl;
• Left Turn Green Arrow: 2050 pcphgpl;
• Double Left Turn Green Arrow: 2000 pcphgpl; and
• HOV lane: 1680 pcphgpl.

Vehicle Turning Movement Count (TMC) Volume

Existing traffic volumes must be current volumes (not more than two years old)
obtained from the Region. Unless otherwise specified, the volumes supplied by
the Region are intersection volumes that have been counted at the stop lines.

These “supply” volumes cannot exceed the capacity “supplied’ by geometric and
signal timing considerations. Therefore, the volume/capacity (v/c) ratio of
movements, based on “supply” volumes, cannot be greater than 1.0.
Counts should be done under the same conditions under which the proposed
signal is to operate. Turning movement counts should not be undertaken during
summer vacations for a proposed signal at the entrance to a college or university
campus.

“Demand” Volumes

In the event of over saturation, the number of vehicles arriving at an approach


can be substantially greater than the number of vehicles that can be discharged.
Similarly, projected traffic volumes can exceed approach capacity. The capability
of the intersection to discharge such traffic demand can be evaluated only if
approaching volumes are used. In such situations the v/c ratio may exceed 1.0.

Therefore, the volumes supplied by the Region should be supplemented by


monitoring residual queues. Data on residual queues should be counted on a
cycle by cycle basis and then averaged over the analysis period. Data collection
should be treated similarly to a left-turn study, where the number of vehicles
waiting at the start of a phase, but unable to clear during each cycle is counted.
The number of cycles taken for back of queue vehicles to clear the intersection
should also be recorded. Alternatively, additional traffic counts should be
conducted at upstream locations away from any queuing.

Conflicting Pedestrians

Pedestrian volumes are shown on the counts provided by the Region.

Peak Hour Factor (PHF)

Consideration for peak flow rates is important in capacity analysis.

• If 15 minute peak flow rates are available, use the highest count and a
PHF of 1.0.

• AM, PM and Weekend peak periods, use PHF = 0.92

• Noon/Weekend off peak periods for through movements, use PHF = 0.90

• If a large factory or sports arena releases all of its vehicles at once, the
traffic may have a large spike and a lower PHF should be used.

Within the Poisson distribution methodology, probability suggests using the


values in the following table for the PHF. This assumes the highest 15 minute
period is the 87.5 percentile based on average 15 minute periods of the hour.

Suggested Peak Hour Values

Total Approach Volume PHF

1000 0.93
500 0.92
200 0.87
100 0.83
50 0.78

Growth Factor (GF)

For operational analysis of current conditions a GF of 1.00 shall be used.

For planning analysis, current volumes can be adjusted to show future volumes
by applying an appropriate Growth Factor.

To calculate a growth factor based on a growth rate over several years, use the
following formula:

Growth Factor (GF) = (1+r)^Y

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, Page 23
PAVEMENT MARKING, SIGNAGE AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

Where:

r = growth Rate (% converted to decimal);

Y = number of years (typically 10 and not exceeding 15 years)

For example the growth factor for 3% growth over 10 years is:

GF = (1 + 0.03) ^ 10 = 1.34

Heavy Vehicles

Heavy vehicles are defined as those with more than four tires touching the
pavement. The number of heavy vehicles for each movement is shown on the
turning movement counts provided by the Region.

Existing Signal Timings

Existing signal timings and mode of control must be current data and obtained
from the Region. The information used in capacity analysis should not be more
than 6 months old.

Controller Type

The mode of control, which is included with the signals timings information
provided by the Region, should be used in selecting the appropriate controller
type. The mode of control for existing signals in the Region of Durham must
remain the same during intersection analysis. The controller type should be
identified as follows:

• “Pre-timed” for fixed timed intersections.


• “Actuated-Coordinated” for fully or semi-actuated intersections.
• “Actuated-Coordinated” for fixed timed intersections with callable left turn
phases.
• “Actuated-Uncoordinated” for free flow intersections.

Synchro Sim Traffic

Sim Traffic is the animation portion of Synchro that simulates the data inputted
into Synchro. Generally, the simulations provide a good representation of existing
and future impacts but could yield results that are contradictory to reports created
in Synchro.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, Page 24
PAVEMENT MARKING, SIGNAGE AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

Network animation attempts to provide realistic macroscopic scenarios for the


entire network. Individual intersection simulation results may be different from
that shown in Synchro due to network constraints.

The Region recommends setting the following parameters under “Options”,


“Intervals and Volumes” and “Intervals”:

• The “Recording” start time should be the start of the period being simulated.

• For the “Seeding” duration time, use the time it takes for a vehicle to travel
from one end of the network to another. If the travel time is typically 10
minutes during the study period, the “Seeding” duration should be 10 minutes.

• The “Seeding” start time should be the “Recording” start time less the
“Seeding” duration (i.e. the “Seeding” start time should be 7:50 a.m. if a
“Recording” start time is 8:00 a.m., and the “Seeding” duration is 10 minutes.)

• The “Recording” duration should be a minimum of 60 minutes; this duration


should allow sufficient time for any queuing problems to build up and so
appear in the simulation.

Analysis Reports

Numerous reports can be created through Synchro and Sim Traffic to provide
Measure of Effectiveness (MOE). The MOE’s values normally required by the
Region include volume/capacity ratio, approach delay/LOS, intersection delay,
queue length.

Analysis’ shall include the following reports where applicable and/or requested by
the Region of Durham.

• ‘HCM Signals’” report.


• Intersection: Lanes, Volumes, Timings, Phasing.
• Arterials ‘LOS” reports whenever arterials are being reviewed.

PAVEMENT MARKING, SIGNAGE AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

10. PAVEMENT MARKINGS AND SIGNAGE

General

As a general rule, all pavement, hazard and delineation marking designs shall
conform to the Ontario Traffic Manual, Book 11, and shall be approved by the
Region of Durham Traffic Engineering and Operations Division.

Legal and engineering drawings shall denote markings as per Region of Durham
standard.

Pavement marking materials for transverse markings and symbols to be


thermoplastic or cold plastic, longitudinal markings in locations with roadway
lighting are to be thermoplastic or cold plastic, longitudinal markings in locations
without roadway lighting are to be water borne traffic paint.

All proposed signage should generally conform to the OTM, unless otherwise specified.
The Region of Durham will supply all signage, unless otherwise advised. Existing utility
poles are acceptable for mounting, if feasible, and within driver’s range of vision.

Stop Bar

As a general rule, stop bar locations at signalized intersections shall be set back
from centreline of the cross street a minimum distance of 17.0 m where cross
sections of the intersecting roadway are less than 5 lanes and 20.0 m where
cross sections are greater than or equal to five lanes. Applicable vehicle turning
templates shall determine the appropriate location of left turn lane stop bar.
Where centre median islands are required, the setback distance is then
measured to the median island bullnose and the stop bar relocated 1.0 m back of
the bullnose.

Stop bars shall be 45 cm in width.

As a general rule, main street stop bar(s) shall be perpendicular to main street
roadway. Minor street stop bar(s) shall be parallel to main street roadway.

Pedestrian Crosswalk

Crosswalk shall be 3.0 m wide and shall be set back from traveled edge of
roadway a minimum distance of 3.5 m, if feasible. The setback from the stop bar
shall be 1.0 m. Crosswalk lines shall be 10 cm in width. The location of the
pedestrian crossings shall determine the location of pedestrian crossing ramps.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, Page 28
PAVEMENT MARKING, SIGNAGE AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

Lane Widths

Lane width dimensions shall be shown at all longitudinal marking deviations.

Vehicle Turning Radius Template

Appropriate vehicle turning template shall be used to verify vehicle clearance


paths.

Mast Arm Signs

Mast arm mounted street name signs shall be supplied by the Region of Durham
and shall be installed as per Region Standards. Mast arm mounted signs are not
required at intersection pedestrian signal (IPS) locations and commercial
entrances.

Tourism and Private Establishment Signing

Tourism and private establishment signing proposed to be installed on a


Regional road right-of-way shall meet the criteria outlined in the Region of
Durham Tourism and Private Establishment Signing Policy.

11. INTERSECTION LIGHTING

The scope of the lighting design shall be determined on a site-specific basis.


Refer to the Design Specificifications for Roadway Lighting section for
illumination requirements.

As a general rule, illumination shall be provided at the pedestrian crossing areas


and/or the entry points of the intersection departure lanes. Liaison with local
municipalities and/or hydro authorities may be required for approvals and
coordination of works

12. ROADSIDE PROTECTION

All new and remedial roadside protection works shall primarily be based on the latest
MTO Roadside Safety Manual (RSM) and Ontario Provincial Standards Drawing (OPSD).
Supplemental guidance may be provided by the Guide Rail, End Treatment and Crash
Cushion Selection Guidelines1 adopted by the Region of Durham.

The Regional Municipality of Durham April 2017


Works Department
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES, Page 29
PAVEMENT MARKING, SIGNAGE AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

All new guide rail systems are to be steel beam. Existing 3-cable systems can
remain in place until they are forecasted to be removed as part of the Capital
Roadside Protection Program based on their Net Risk Score, however, it is
preferred that these systems be re-evaluated and modernized with any adjacent
project.

Treatment of Existing Hazards

Where applicable, existing hazards are to be removed, relocated or minimized as


opposed to installing new guide rail systems. These alternatives can be
achieved through the following:

• Flattening of slopes through the use of fill


• Relocation of utilities (hydro poles, fire hydrants, utility pedestals, etc.)
• Improvements to drainage with box culverts and curb and gutter
• Increases in shoulder widths and edge of rounding to improve clear zones

Channel Utilization Within Guide Rail Systems

The use of channel within Regional guide rail systems shall be applied on a site-
by-site basis using engineering discretion. The following criteria should be
considered when selecting the need for guide rail with channel:

• Operating speeds greater than 80 km/h


• Dramatic shifts in horizontal alignment
• Water hazards where vehicle submersion is a risk and hazard depths are
greater than 0.3 m
• Drainage issues causing the shoulder to deteriorate, increasing the risk of
tires wedging or spearing within edge of rounding and steel beam
• Heavy vehicle volume percentages greater than 10%

Approach and Departure End Treatments

The Region of Durham accepts the following OPSD end treatments:

• OPSD 912.430 Steel Beam Structure Connection at concrete bridge


structures
• OPSD 912.531 Steel Beam Installation – Entrances and Intersecting
Roadways where Regional roads intersect with Regional/Municipal/Private
driveways. Where OPSD 912.531 is applied at an entrance, the radius of the
SBGR shall not be less than the entrance radius specified in table 1 of Design
Specifications for Roads and Entranceways.

• OPSD 922.180 Energy Attenuator (Extruder) with Wooden Posts where


previous wood post installations were used
• OPSD 922.532 Energy Attenuator (Extruder) with Steel Posts for all current
and future installations

Hazard / Plow Markers and Reflectors

Figure 4 illustrates the Regional standard for the appropriate installation of guide
rail hazard and plow markers. Wa-33L and Wa-33R stickers placed on extruder
heads are no longer necessary.

Dual sided reflectors are required every three (3) posts to ensure adequate
visibility of guide rail systems bi-directionally in dark and poor weather conditions.

K= 0.1 FOR INCREASING VELOCITY CHANGE

K= 0.2 FOR DECREASING VELOCITY CHANGE

ASSUMPTION

Maintenance hole length is relatively short so that hi can effectively be taken to be the actual
drop in inverts at the extremes of the maintenance hole.

METHOD

1. Each incoming pipe must be analyzed separately together with the outgoing pipe.

2. Employ Hydraulic Elements Chart (Figure 1) for % depth of flow and % velocity.

3. The designer should, wherever possible, restrict the change in velocity to not more than
0.6 m/s in special cases, consideration should be given to bellmouth entrances.

4. Complete the hydraulic calculations outlined in the following.

NOTE: Nominal pipe size is indicated by an NPS designation number. The


designation number is the nominal inch size of the pipe and follows the
nomenclature in CSA B182 Series Standards.

Slopes less than those required for 0.6 m/s velocity when flowing full may be
permitted when increasing of the slope would require deepening of extensive
sections of the system or the addition of a pumping station. In such instances,
the reduction of slope would only apply to NPS-10 pipe and the minimum
allowable slope would be 0.28% for NPS-8 pipe and 0.22% for NPS-10 pipe.

ALLOWANCE FOR HYDRAULIC LOSSES AT SEWER MAINTENANCE


HOLES

The following minimum allowances should be made for hydraulic losses incurred
at sewer maintenance holes:

 straight run Grade of sewer


 45o turn 0.03 m
 90o turn 0.06 m
 Junctions and transitions See Appendix

Although the above invert drops will be adequate for sewers flowing at velocities
at the low end of the acceptable range, the required drops should be calculated
for high velocity sewers.

April 2013
Nominal Pipe Size Page 2

DESIGN CALCULATIONS

When submitting applications to the Ministry of the Environment for approval,


they should be accompanied by sewer design calculations presenting in tabular
form the required capacity, sewer size, sewer slope, roughness coefficient used,
pipe capacity provided, flow velocity when flowing full, and depth of flow and
actual flow velocity at peak flow if depth of flow is less than 0.3 of the pipe
diameter.

A typical sewer design sheet is shown in Appendix.

SEWER SYSTEM LAYOUT

For general discussions of sanitary sewer layout techniques, the designer should
refer to such design manuals and texts as the following:

APPROVED MANUFACTURERS’ PRODUCTS LIST

SUPPLIER’S PROCEDURE

Purpose

The Regional Infrastructure Standardization Committee (RISC) was established to


ensure that various products and equipment utilized in water distribution, sewage
collection, traffic control systems, and roads infrastructure meet acceptable standards of
quality and consistency throughout the Region of Durham. More specifically, the
committee develops and maintains guidelines for the submission and evaluation of
products from manufacturers/suppliers. Once approved, products are placed on the
applicable Region of Durham “Approved Manufacturers’ Products List”. This guide is
designed to assist suppliers or manufacturers who have suitable products or as a
reference for engineering consultants who are designing Region of Durham projects.

Structure

The Regional Infrastructure Standardization Committee is currently comprised of two


sub-committees which oversee the product approval procedures for the following
specific areas:

 Road, Watermains, Sewers


 Traffic Control Systems

Each sub-committee is headed by a sub-committee Chair, who conducts evaluation


meetings with appropriate stakeholder groups and technical support staff. The Chair
receives product approval requests from manufacturers and suppliers interested in
having products evaluated and approved for use in the Region of Durham’s
infrastructure.

Currently, an Approved Manufacturers’ Products List is available for Road, Watermains,


Sewers and Traffic Control Systems products. Requests for product approval for these
products must be submitted in accordance with these procedures.

All approved products in the Road, Watermain, Sewer and Traffic Control System-
related product categories will be posted on the Region of Durham’s “Pre-qualified
Products” List on The Road Authority’s (TRA’s) web site at www.roadauthority.com.
The Approved Products Listing on the TRA website is updated throughout the year to
reflect the additions and deletions of products at sub-committee meetings.

Evaluation of Products Submitted for Approval

The RISC Sub-committees focus on three general areas when reviewing products
submitted for Region of Durham approval. These are briefly described below:

The Regional Municipality of Durham May 2013


Works Department
THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM Page 2
APPROVED MANUFACTURERS’ PRODUCTS LIST

1. Product Quality, Design, Functionality and Cost

Product samples are evaluated to ensure that the quality of construction,


materials and design meet exacting requirements to ensure compatibility with
Region of Durham locations and applications. Where relevant, productivity and
life cycle costs are considered. Compliance to any required industry and Region
of Durham specific standards or specifications are determined, based on the
documentation supplied. Failure to provide certifications or testing results from an
independent lab may result in products not being approved. It is therefore
essential that product applications include such documentation.

2. Quality Management of Manufacturing Processes

It is important that manufacturing processes are managed in such a way to


provide consistent design and quality standards. This ensures that when orders
are placed, products will consistently meet the required standards. Quality
management programs such as ISO certification or equivalent external or internal
programs are therefore considered important in meeting this requirement.

The Region applies a similar evaluation to both foreign and domestically


manufactured products. Since products manufactured outside of Canada may
have different quality assurance programs than those manufactured locally, it is
incumbent upon the submitting organizations to include all relevant
documentation about the particular quality assurance programs before the
respective sub-committee may proceed with product evaluations or testing.

3. Distribution, Warranty and Servicing

Manufacturers or their authorized distributors submitting new products to the


Region of Durham must provide suitable distribution and servicing of products
they wish to sell. This requires that adequate inventories be maintained for
products and repair parts to ensure prompt delivery of orders and warranty/repair
services. Local servicing by qualified staff for product training, repairs or
maintenance is also required. Manufacturers should provide a comprehensive
warranty for their products and offer competitive rates for extended warranty or
support services. (The Region of Durham standard purchase order terms require
that a 12-month warranty be provided for equipment purchases.) References
verifying acceptable quality, delivery and servicing of products must also be
provided.

Competitive Bidding

The Region of Durham’s Purchasing By-law 68-2000, as amended, requires that


competitive bids be obtained wherever possible. It is important to distinguish between
approval of products under the RISC and approval of firms distributing products or
providing services.

The Regional Municipality of Durham May 2013


Works Department
THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM Page 3
APPROVED MANUFACTURERS’ PRODUCTS LIST

Unless a product is distributed exclusively through one agent, the Region of Durham will
normally seek competitive bids from suitably qualified firms. Sometimes a separate
process is undertaken to establish standing agreements with a number of product
distributors or service providers. Examples of this approach are Maintenance, Repair
and Operating (MRO) suppliers and various trades for which registries of suitable firms
are established and updated annually. These bidding processes are conducted by the
Region of Durham Purchasing Section.

The role of the RISC is not to approve (or limit approval to) any particular product
reseller, agent, or contractor, but to administer the processes for approving products,
which fully comply with the Region of Durham’s standards and are supported through
adequate distribution and local servicing.

OGRA, OPS and The Road Authority

The Region of Durham supports the efforts of the Ontario Good Roads Association
(OGRA) and the Ontario Provincial Standards (OPS) organization. As part of these
relationships, the Region of Durham has chosen to use the The Road Authority (TRA) to
post it’s Approved Manufacturers’ Products List for Road, Watermain, Sewer and Traffic
Control System-related products on the internet. The Road Authority is a service
provided by the OGRA and is “an internet-based information resource that provides a
mechanism for infrastructure owners, consultants, contractors and product suppliers to
collaborate and share information. TRA provides users with information on products
services and technical solutions available for use in the public works sector.”

HOW TO SUBMIT PRODUCTS FOR APPROVAL

Manufacturers and suppliers wishing to have products approved by the Region of


Durham should provide the following:

1. The manufacturer or applicant must first be registered with TRA and all products
being submitted for consideration must be profiled in TRA’s products database.

The TRA registration process includes three steps

1. Manufacturer/supplier registration
2. Product identification (registration/profile)
3. Application for product “classification” by the OPS Products Management
Committee (OPS-PMC)

Upon profiling of the products with TRA, TRA will forward product details to the
Region of Durham provided the proponent indicates their desire to do so during
the online product registration process.

The Regional Municipality of Durham May 2013


Works Department
THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM Page 4
APPROVED MANUFACTURERS’ PRODUCTS LIST

As of March 31, 2003 all new product approval submissions in these


categories must also receive an “Accepted for Use” classification by the
OPS-PMC prior to consideration by the Region of Durham.

2. Upon request by the RISC Sub-committee Chair, samples of the product shall be
supplied and delivered to a field test location at no charge to the Region of
Durham. Since each sub-committee typically only convenes two to four times
annually, the product evaluation and testing could take up to a year.

Note that once a product has been placed on the Region of Durham’s Approved
Manufacturer’s Products List, it will be tentatively accepted for two years, during which
time the appropriate sub-committee will review the product for full approval or rejection,
based on the performance, quality and support provided.

In general, the new products that are accepted for use will not be placed on the Region
of Durham Approved Manufacturers’ Products List until early in the following year.

However, the Region of Durham Approved Manufacturers’ Products List may be revised
for use at any time for the purposes of tendering, at the sole discretion of the Region of
Durham. The list of Region of Durham “Pre-qualified” Products (i.e., also having
received approval for use by the Region of Durham) on the TRA website will be updated
periodically throughout the year as acceptance is given.

If the Product is rejected for use, the manufacturer or supplier must wait for one (1) year
from the date of previous application before re-submission. If a product is removed from
the Approved Manufacturers’ Products List, the manufacturer or supplier must also wait
for one year from the date of removal. In the event that a product is not accepted,
copies of the sub-committee’s evaluations and comments will be forwarded to the
distributor who submitted the application and the manufacturer, provided that the
address of the manufacturer is on the application.

Suppliers wishing to obtain a copy of the Region of Durham’s Purchasing By-law or a

PART 3 – EXECUTION

3.01 PROTECTION

.1 Examine route of work to determine location and size of existing trees and
shrubs to remain.

.2 Mark shrubs and trees to remain.

.3 Protect trees with slatting around trunks and erect snow fencing around
drip line.

.4 Store trees and shrubs, which cannot be planted immediately in a


satisfactory manner.

.5 Protect trees from damage and drying out from time of digging until
planting.

3.02 PREPARATION

.1 Location of Trees:

a) Stake out all tree and shrub locations and obtain the Contract
Administrator's approval before excavating. Cooperate with the
Contract Administrator where minor adjustments to such locations
are necessary. The proposed new location of trees and plants
shown on Contract Drawings is approximate only and may require
adjustment due to site conditions.

b) The Contractor shall be responsible for locating all underground


utilities and services prior to digging.

.2 Subgrade for Planting Beds and Tree Pits:

a) Scarify to a depth of 150 mm below bottom of planting pit/bed.

3.03 PLANTING TIME

DIVISION 2 – SITE CONSTRUCTION TREES AND SHRUB RELOCATION
Page 6 of 7

.4 Plant only under conditions that are conducive to the health and best
physical condition of plant material.

3.04 INSTALLATION

.1 Plants and Trees:

a) Plant during suitable weather conditions, according to locally


accepted practice and with the Contract Administrator's approval.
Set plumb in the centre of the pit and at the same relation to grade
as originally shown, after settlement has taken place.

b) Plant trees and shrubs vertically and faced to give best appearance
in relation to structures, roads, and walks.

c) Excavate planting holes in planting areas. Ensure that hole is wider


and deeper than rootball, allowing at least 150 mm of planting
mixture under each plant. Set plants so that their roots lie in their
natural position. Constantly tamp planting mixture around rootball
to eliminate air pockets. When two thirds of depth of planting pit
has been backfilled, fill remaining space with water. After water
has penetrated into soil, backfill to finish grade leaving a shallow
saucer directly over the rootball, and slightly smaller in diameter
than the excavation. Apply fertilizer at a rate of 10 kg/100 m2.
Water trees and planting beds thoroughly immediately after
planting.

d) Ensure that the top of the rootball is 150 mm above surrounding


grade.

.2 Tree Support:

a) After planting, stake all trees with biodegradable ties and two
wooden stakes. Fasten ties with roofing nails or equivalent. Keep
ties taut at all times without subjecting tree to undue strain.

.3 Pruning:

a) Prune only as necessary to remove dead and broken branches and


to compensate for the loss of roots as a result of digging
operations. Preserve the natural form and character of plants and
do not remove small twigs along tree trunks.

Works Department
CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS Section 02905
DIVISION 2 – SITE CONSTRUCTION TREES AND SHRUB RELOCATION
Page 7 of 7

b) Pruning shall be performed in accordance with good arboricultural


practices. Use only sharp, clean tools and make cuts flush without
leaving stubs. Trace back to living tissue all cuts, bruises, and
scars on the bark.

.4 Mulching:

a) Obtain the Contract Administrator’s approval of planting before


mulching material is applied. Loosen soil in planting beds and pits
and remove all debris and weeds. Spread mulch to minimum
acceptable thickness of 75 mm. Mulch material susceptible to
blowing must be moistened and mixed with small amount of topsoil
before applying. When mulch is applied in the fall, place
immediately after planting. When mulch is applied in spring, wait
until soil has warmed up.
