Plan Scales (see DOT 1B-3)

22”x34” paper for final designs

(preliminary usually ½ size, 11”x17”)
1. Plan view:
a) Rural
a) 1:1000 plan scale (or 1”=100’)
b) 1:100 vertical (1”=10’)
b) Urban
a) 1:500 or 1:250 plan scale (1”=50’ or 1”=20’)
b) 1:50 or 1:25 vertical (1”=5’ or 1”=2’)
2. Cross Section:
a) Rural
a) 1:100 or 1:200 horizontal (1”=10’ or 1”=20’)
b) 1:50 or 1:100 vertical (1”=5’ or 1”=10’)
b) Urban
a) 1:50 horizontal (1”=5’)
b) 1:10 vertical (1”=1’)
