2 Del. Admin. Code § 1.1
The purpose of the Delaware Department of Transportation's (DelDOT's) Development Coordination Manual is to set forth the requirements of DelDOT for the planning, design, construction, and acceptance of subdivision streets and access to State-maintained roadways.
The regulations presented herein are intended to regulate and control the location, design, and operation of access points and transportation facilities maintained by DelDOT. All commercial entrances, residential entrances and State-maintained subdivision streets are to be designed and constructed in accordance with these requirements. These requirements apply to the following:
Entrances shall be designed to provide safe and reasonable access to the site while providing the least impact on the existing roadway system and its users. The number, spacing, type, and location of access and traffic signals have a direct and often significant effect on the capacity, speed, and safety of the highway.
Each state highway segment is assigned a functional classification as defined in Sections 1.6.1 to 1.6.8. The existing design of the highway is not required to meet the design standards of the functional classification at the time the classification is assigned. All access designs shall meet the standards set forth in this chapter for the assigned functional class of the frontage highway and/or affected segment of highway. Roadways discussed in this chapter shall be in conjunction with DelDOT's Functional Classification Maps available at http://www.deldot.gov/information/pubs_forms/.
