Do touring bikes typically have low BB centers?

I'm only used to riding one bike, and that one's a mountain bike. I'm considering a touring frame as replacement, but my regular route has a lot of turns and I don't want to buy into a future of pedal strikes. ( I should have brought a yardstick to the store then I'd know. Next time. I just went into the store for tires...)
