*Permeable pavement systems can be used to stabilize and improve degraded shoulders
*Permeable pavement systems can be used to stabilize and improve degraded shoulders
*Converting degraded ditches to enhanced grass swales is the simplest LID improvement to make to residential rural cross-section roads. Driveway culverts can be slightly raised to provide storage and encourage infiltration

+===Urban Cross-Section===
+Characteristics specific to the urban cross section include:
+*Parking zones are often underused
+*Residential boulevard space is the easiest to modify and use for stormwater management compared to other street types
+*Utility lines may be in separate or shared trenches
+
+Typical LID opportunities Within the roadway:
+*Curb extension bioretention is a good method for
+calming traffic and using underutilized parking zones
+*Due to low speeds and low traffic, permeable pavement can be used for the roadway from curb to curb
+
+Within the boulevard:
+*Boulevard bioretention can be easily incorporated into a rural to urban upgrade by allowing for stormwatertreatment within the boulevard space
