Kittitas County Roadway Intersection Illumination Policy: The board of county commissioners, all <br />members present, adopts the County Engineer's recommendation to install highway intersection <br />lighting on all arterial road intersections having an ADT of over one thousand count or more, with a <br />minimum of one twenty thousand lumen fixture or more, as may be required. <br />In addition to the above policy, roadway illumination will be provided when required by an <br />incorporated city or by the Washington State Department of Transportation. Widening of collectors <br />with existing illumination will require installation of new illumination designed to current design <br />standards. Illumination intensity and uniformity shall conform to the incorporated city or the <br />Washington State Department of Transportation standards. Luminaire fixtures shall be consistent with <br />requirements of the local electrical utility entity, and shall be subject to the approvals of that entity. <br />The applicant or engineer shall submit a letter to the department of public works certifying that the <br />design is in conformance with the most current edition of roadway lighting design guidance developed <br />by the Illuminating Engineering Society and approved by the American National Standards Institute <br />(ANSI). Written acceptance of illumination designs and locations by the department of public works <br />shall be required prior to installation. <br />The county shall base determinations of illumination installation or maintenance acceptance upon <br />engineering and traffic safety considerations as determined by the County Engineer. <br />12.04.08.080 Bollards. <br />When necessary to deny motor vehicle access to an easement, tract or trail except for maintenance or <br />emergency vehicles, the point of access shall be closed by a line of bollards. These shall include one or <br />more fixed bollards on each side of the traveled way and removable, locking bollards across the traveled <br />way. Spacing shall provide one bollard on centerline of the trail and the other bollards spaced at minimum <br />fifty inches on center of trails ten feet wide or less and spacing of sixty inches on center of trails wider than <br />ten feet. <br />Bollard design shall be in accordance with the most recent edition of the applicable WSDOT Standard <br />Plans or other design acceptable to the County Engineer. No fire apparatus access roads shall be blocked <br />in this manner without concurrence of the fire marshal. Bollards shall be located at least ten feet laterally <br />from the paved edge of roadway. <br />For proposed bollards associated with trails, multi -use pathways, or any location where the bollards may <br />present a safety hazard to the public, the applicant shall submit a written safety assessment, performed by <br />an engineer licensed in the State of Washington for review and approval by the County Engineer, <br />12.04.08.090 Guardrails. <br />Evaluation of embankments for guardrail installation shall be in accordance with WSDOT Design Manual, <br />or AASHTO Roadside Design Guide. <br />Title 12 Kittitas County Code I Draft No. 5 — Working Draft for Adoption 6/12/2018 <br />68 <br />
