Proper contouring of cul-de-sac
Proper contouring of cul-de-sac
(OP)
I am looking for information on the proper contouring of an offset bulb cul-de-sac. I am assuming there should be a high point at the center of the cul-de-sac, and then it should slope away from this in all directions. How do I make this blend into the crown of the roadway that is coming in tangent to the circle? I am also concerned about making it easily constructable.

It will also make it harder for homeowners to claim they were never informed that their nice quiet dead end was intended to be a through street if you build it so it is is obviously meant to go through. NY Times recently ran an article on this. Read it before it's too late (they make you pay to read articles over a week old).
