(It is recommended for rural residence entrances that a minimum intersection clearance of 50 feet be provided and for rural commercial <br />entrances a minimum of 100 feet be provided.) <br />SIGHT DISTANCE <br />All entrances and exits shall be so located and constructed that vehicles approaching or using them will be able to obtain adequate sight <br />distance in both directions along the highway in order to maneuver safely and without interfering with highway traffic. <br />Stopping sight distance is that distance required for a vehicle traveling on a horizontal curve to stop before reaching an object in its path. <br />Stopping distance is measured fram driver's eyes, which are 3.5 feet above road surface of the inside lane and the object is 6 inches high. The <br />line of sight is assumed to intercept the obstruction at the midpoint of the light line and 2.0 feet above road surface, The following chart may be <br />used for reference: <br />Design Speed MPH 30 35 40 45 50 55 <br />Minimum Stopping 300 300 300* 375' 450* 575* <br />Sight Distance (feet) <br />The stopping sight distance of any roadway design should never be less than the minimum for the design speed. <br />*Based on road conditions and traffic count, stopping sight distance requirements may vary from the above given distances. <br />CONTROL DEVICES <br />The Applicant shall not be permitted to erect any sign or display material, either fixed or movable, on or extending over any portion of the <br />highway right -of -way. <br />NUME3ER OF DRIVEWAYS <br />Generally no more than one approach shall be allowed any parcel of property the frontage of which is less than one hundred (100) feet. <br />Additional entrances or exits for parcels of property having a frontage in excess or one hundred (100) feet shall be permitted only after showing <br />of actual convenience and necessity. <br />PROPERTY LINE OFFSET <br />All driveways shall be so located that the flared portion adjacent to the traveled way will not encroach upon adjoining property, - <br />DRIVEWAY WIDTH <br />No commercial driveway shall have a width greater than thirty (30) feet measured at right angles to the centerline of the driveway, except as <br />increased by permissible radii. No non - commercial driveway shall have a width greater than twenty (20) feet measured at right angles to the <br />terline of the driveway, except as increased by permissible radii. <br />OACH ANGLE <br />axis of an approach to the road may be at a right angle to the centerline of the highway -and of any angle between ninety (90) degrees and <br />sixty (60) degrees but shall not be less than sixty (60) degrees. Adjustment will be made according to the type of traffic to be served and other <br />physical conditions. <br />PARKING <br />The construction of parking or servicing areas on the highway right -of -way is specifically prohibited. Off-the -road parking facilities should be <br />provided by commercial establishments for customers' vehicles. <br />SLOPE OF DRIVE <br />The grade of entrance and exit shall slope downward and away from the road surface at the same rate as normal shoulder slope and for a <br />distance equal to the width of the shoulder but in no case less than ten (10) feet from the pavement edge, Approach grades are restricted to <br />not more than 2% with a crown of 3% for fifty feet. <br />DRAINAGE <br />All driveways and approaches shall be so constructed that they shall not interfere with the drainage system of the street or highway. The <br />Applicant will be required to provide, at his own expense, drainage structures at entrances and exits which will become an integral part of the <br />existing drainage system, The dimensions of all drainage structures will generally be based on Talbot's Formula and must be approved by the <br />Department representative prior to installation. The minimum size on culverts is 18 inches by 20 feet unless special permission is granted. <br />IS CHART IS BASED ON TALBOT'S FORMULA FOR DETERMINING CULVER r SIZES FOR THE AREA TO BE DRAINED. <br />
