Trail standards

Santa Clara County has established standards for trail construction. These would apply to the trails discussed in this proposal.

Fig. G-2. Shared-use Trails, paved-tread, double-track

Where paved service roads exist, this is the standard trail. The Dish trails should be built out to this standard.

Fig. G-3. Shared-use Trails, natural tread, double-track

Where no paved road exists, this is the standard trail.

Fig. G-4. Limited-use Trails, natural tread, single-track

Single-track trails should be used only when space constraints prohibit a double-track trail. Generally this occurs only on trails cut out of hillsides.

This site is operated by a group of Stanford-area people, many of whom are Stanford alumni.
It is not an official site of Stanford University.
