Section 70:04:06:12 - Access to work area

Methods of obtaining access to the work area of a highway right-of-way are as follows:

(1) For mowing by permit:

(a) Access to the work area on interstate and controlled access highways is limited to the use of gates provided in the right-of-way fence. If no gate exists, one may be installed by the permittee. The gate becomes the property of the state;

(b) Under no condition may the permittee enter or leave the work area through use of the main roadway;

(c) The department is not responsible for providing access roads outside the right-of-way line;

(2) For mowing by contract:

(a) Mowing, processing, and loading equipment may move to the median from the main roadway, but equipment movement in and out of the median must be kept to a minimum;

(b) Each piece of equipment must have a "slow moving" sign attached to it and must stay within the median during the operation. All loading of baled or processed hay onto hauling units must be performed within the median.
