| *Consideration should be given for wide turning trucks which may encroach on and degrade landscaping or road shoulders. Grid paver systems or widened gravel shoulders near turning areas can be used to accommodate occasional encroachment. | | *Consideration should be given for wide turning trucks which may encroach on and degrade landscaping or road shoulders.

− | *LID options for local industrial roads will heavily depend on the adjacent industries. For example, bioswales and other filtering practices may clog quickly where heavy industry like concrete mixing plants will track sediment onto the roads. Grass swales with sediment traps or prefabricated oil/grit separators which can be cleaned out on a frequent routine basis would be appropriate. Conversely, bioswales and perforated pipe can work well in areas of light industrial and commercial landuses. | + | *LID options for local industrial roads will heavily depend on the adjacent industries.
