Verklaring betreffende de aanleg van internationale hoofdverkeerswegen
1. Elimination of secondary intersections
The crossing at grade of ordinary type international roads by local roads of secondary importance is avoided as far as possible.
2. Intersections and interchanges
The intersections on an international road should be specially designed for the traffic using them.
Such designs include:
(a) for motorways roads at different levels with a connected system of entrances and exits avoiding any traffic cut on the motorway. The system of connecting roads includes, where necessary, acceleration and deceleration lanes distinguishable from the carriageway of the motorway and of sufficient length to enable drivers to execute the required manoeuvre and to change the speed of their vehicles to get from one road to another without interfering with traffic on the motorway.
(b) for ordinary type roads arrangements for crossing and for connection according to the principles given in (a ) above when the traffic flows are of sufficient importance. If a grade-separated intersection is not justified directional islands are provided to canalise the traffic crossing on the secondary road. If necessary, the carriageway of the international road should be duplicated to provide an adequate waiting zone for vehicles between the opposing directions of travel. The mutual visibility between roads entering an intersection is sufficient to permit a safe approach and crossing of the intersection. The intersection is designed so as to reduce, as may be necessary, the speed of vehicles coming from the side road, account being taken in particular of the visibility. Acceleration and deceleration lanes contiguous with the carriageway of the international road are provided at important intersections particularly when there are dual carriageways.
Roundabouts and light signals should in general be avoided.
3. Access to adjoining property
Direct access of adjoining property is not allowed on motorways. For ordinary type roads it would be desirable for laws to be passed to permit the limitation and control of access to adjoining property,
4. Railway level-crossings
Railway level-crossings should not be used on international roads.
The crossing at grade of ordinary type international roads by local roads of secondary importance is avoided as far as possible.
