i. Physical Data:
(1) Cuts and fills shall be indicated at 50 ft intervals in built-up areas and at 100 ft intervals in open country by placing in a circle, opposite the appropriate station, a figure representing the difference, in feet, between the elevation of the existing terrain at the required right-of-way line and the elevation of the proposed roadway at the outside edge of the shoulder. A plus (+) figure indicates a fill and a minus (-) figure a cut.
In addition, where an improvement to an existing roadway is involved, a figure, placed within a square, shall accompany the circled figure. This figure shall represent the difference, in feet, between the elevations of the existing roadway at the outside edge of the shoulder. Again, a plus (+) figure indicates a fill and a minus (-) figure a cut. Figure 3.14 indicates the distances to be shown in the circles and squares.
Chapter 3 - Right-of-Way Plans Publication 14M (DM-3) 2015 Edition - Change #2 The following Legend should be placed on all plans where only the circled figures are appropriate:
Figures Within Circles - The difference, in feet, between the elevation of the existing terrain at the required right-of-way line and the elevation of the proposed roadway at the outside edge of the shoulder, at that station.
Plus (+) figures indicate the edge of the shoulder of the proposed roadway is at a higher elevation than the existing terrain at the required right-of-way line. Minus (-) figures indicate the edge of the shoulder of the proposed roadway is at a lower elevation than the existing terrain at the required right-of-way line.
The following Legend shall be placed on all plans where both the circled figure and the squared figure are appropriate:
Figures Within Circles - The difference, in feet, between the elevation of the existing terrain at the required right-of-way line and the elevation of the proposed roadway at the outside edge of the shoulder, at that station.
Figures Within Squares - The difference, in feet, between the elevation of the existing terrain at the legal right-of-way line and the elevation of the existing roadway at the outside edge of the shoulder, at that station.
Plus (+) figures indicate the edge of the appropriate roadway is at a higher elevation than the existing terrain at the appropriate right-of-way line. Minus (-) figures indicate the edge of the shoulder of the appropriate roadway is at a lower elevation than the existing terrain at the appropriate right-of-way line.
(2) Trees, swamps, rock and/or other terrain features including human-made features such as power lines, fences, walls, etc.
