The map designated as the “Master Plan of Roadways” designating certain highways by symbols explained in the legend thereon to be freeways, special thoroughfares, thoroughfares, and arterials is adopted as a portion of the highway plan of the City. All notation, references and other information shown thereon shall be as much a part of this chapter as if the matters and information set forth by the map were fully described and set forth herein.

Where the highway plan shows a highway or freeway route on the map in the same location as a route for which the California Transportation Commission has adopted a precise route or plan, it is the intention of this chapter to indicate the same route or plan as adopted by the California Transportation Commission.

An additional thirty-six (36' 0") foot right-of-way on one (1) or both sides of the street may be called for in special cases to accommodate a frontage road adjacent to the major street. The Director is hereby authorized to make minor adjustments to the right-of-way widths for City streets designated on the Master Plan of Roadways to accommodate special traffic, economic, or environmental conditions commensurate with traffic capacity and safety considerations.
