What is the minimum RROW width for roads within a subdivision according to BP 220?

According to BP 220, which provides guidelines for subdivision design and standards in the Philippines, the minimum right-of-way (RROW) width for roads within a subdivision is specified as 10 meters. This width is essential to ensure adequate space for not only the roadway itself but also utilities, sidewalks, and potential future expansions or improvements.

Having a minimum of 10 meters aligns with the need for safe vehicular movement and pedestrian access, contributing to overall safety and functionality within residential areas. Wider RROWs can accommodate larger vehicles, emergency services, and promote a better quality of life for residents by enhancing accessibility.

The choice of 10 meters reflects a balance between the practical needs of subdivision residents and the efficient use of land, which is critical in urban planning and development standards.
