Current through Vol. 24-22, December 15, 2024
Section R. 247.231 - Driveway locations

Rule 31.

(1) A driveway shall be so located that no undue interference with the free movement of highway traffic will result. A driveway shall be so located also to provide the most favorable vision and grade conditions possible for motorists using the highway and the driveway consistent with development of the site considering proper traffic operations and safety.
(2) A driveway, including the radii but not including the right-turn lanes and tapers, shall be located entirely within the area between the permittee's property lines extended to the centerline of the highway. A driveway radius may extend outside of that area only if the adjacent property owner certifies in writing that he will permit such extension.
(3) If the driveway is to be located adjacent to a highway intersection, the following shall apply:
(a) If the intersecting highway is curbed, the point of curvature of the driveway radius shall be at least 20 feet from the point of curvature of the intersecting highway radius.
(b) If the intersecting highway is uncurbed, the point of curvature of the driveway radius shall be at least 50 feet from the edge of pavement of the intersecting highway.
(c) When an existing highway or driveway is reconstructed or the requirements in subdivisions (a) or (b) cannot be applied, the driveway radius shall not encroach upon the intersection radius unless such encroachment is physically unavoidable.
(4) A driveway shall not be constructed along the acceleration or deceleration lanes and tapers connecting to interchange ramp terminals, unless no other reasonable access point is available.
