modified grid street pattern definition
modified grid street pattern means an interconnected network of streets generally rectilinear in alignment and orthogonal at intersections, with modifications to allow for terrain or environmental considerations, such as occasional curves or diagonally directed streets. The gridiron-like layout and shorter blocks typical of the modified grid street pattern allow for multiple travel routes, dispersing vehicular traffic within a geographic area, and encourage pedestrian activity.
modified grid street pattern means a street layout characterized by rectangular blocks. This street pattern is distinguished from a grid street pattern by a mix of three-way and four-way intersections with streets meeting at right angles.
