Reference is made to the current edition of the AASHTO
						Roadside Design Guide, and the recommendations therein as are applicable to the
						location and construction of driveway, road and street connections to the
						highway. The cut and fill slope requirements for these connections are listed
						below in Paragraphs 301.1 and 301.2. Culverts and sidedrains under such
						connections must be of a length sufficient to accommodate the side slope
						requirements listed below in Paragraphs 301.1 and 301.2.
1. Applications for driveway, road and street
					 connection permits to the highway on highways built prior to the adoption of
					 the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide shall meet the requirements of the highway as
					 constructed or reconstructed. However, in no case, shall the cut and fill
					 slopes within the clear zone be steeper than three to one.
2. Applications for driveway, road and street
					 connection permits to the highway on highways constructed or reconstructed
					 after the adoption of the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide shall not be steeper
					 than six to one foreslopes and three to one backslopes within the clear zone.
In areas beyond the clear zone, the slopes may be
						increased but, in no case, shall the slopes be steeper than three to
						one.

Restricted or neutral areas as described in SECTIONS
						501.2, 501.8, and 501.9 above may be graded or filled only when the following
						requirements have been complied with:
1. Surface drainage is provided to drain all
					 surface water on the graded or filled in areas away from the roadway in a
					 suitable manner and be deposited into the natural drain. Sub-surface drainage
					 shall be provided where required to prevent development of a high ground level
					 that will endanger the highway pavement.
2. The drainage opening underneath the area
					 is adequate to carry the water to its natural drain or its roadside ditches.
					 Pipe culverts installed under these areas shall be not less than fifteen (15)
					 inches in diameter.
3. Permanent
					 provisions are made to separate the area from all traveled ways in order to
					 prevent its use for entrance or exit, or for vehicular parking, by constructing
					 concrete or other acceptable masonry curb that conform to the current edition
					 of the MDOT Roadway Design Standard Drawings around the perimeter of the
					 area.
4. Restricted or neutral
					 areas' length, width and shape will vary at different locations. The lot
					 frontage, right of way width and many other factors will determine the size and
					 shape of such areas. When curbs are used to channelize areas they should be
					 constructed five (5) to ten (10) feet from edge of pavement, or a greater
					 distance if necessary to clear the prevailing shoulder width. Channelized areas
					 shall extend to the right of way line.

All driveways shall be so located within the applicant's
						frontage that the flared portion or return adjacent to the traveled way will
						not encroach on adjacent frontage. A minimum distance of twelve and one-half

						so as to preserve a twenty-five (25) foot neutral area between driveways.
						Applications for joint use driveways (two adjacent property owners using the
						same driveway) or for driveways with less than the required twenty-five (25)
						foot neutral area between driveways will be reviewed for approval on a case by
						case basis; however, in all such applications, both affected property owners'
						signatures are required on the permit. Refer to Appendix 4 of the MDOT Access
						Management Manual for the minimum connection spacing for all driveways.

Applications for driveway connections to Interstate and
						other controlled access highways will only be approved to connect with existing
						frontage roads. Driveway applications will not be approved where frontage roads
						do not exist, nor will they be approved on intersecting roads or streets where
						the proposed driveway location is within the no access' limits. Applications

						the proposed driveway with reference to the no access' limits where same are in
						close proximity. The regulations for driveway connections to conventional
						highways and frontage roads beginning on Page 2 of this Rule and the MDOT

Street and road connections are special cases which
						necessarily must be treated on an individual basis. Many of the regulations
						applying to driveway connections would also apply to street and road

						Roadway Design Division Engineer and the State Traffic
						Engineer.

The following provision will apply to permits for
						construction of temporary connections for street or road connections to
						partially controlled access highways:
1. Where officially platted and dedicated
					 streets and roads, or other streets and roads, are improved or constructed
					 after completion of a partially controlled access highway on which frontage
					 roads have not been provided, and on which access rights between median
					 crossovers were not purchased with the right of way, permits may be approved on
					 a temporary basis by the Chief Engineer for direct connections to the traveled
					 way and temporary median openings conforming to spacing requirements in SECTION
					 1001.1 below
.
Temporary median openings not in
					 compliance with SECTION 1001.1 require approval of the Commission by order
					 spread upon its minutes as outlined in SECTIONS 1001.1 through 1001.4 below.
					 The governing authority (county, city, etc.) constructing such streets or roads
					 will be responsible for the entire cost of providing such temporary
					 connections. When median openings for such temporary connections are
					 authorized, such openings including necessary left turn bays, together with all
					 approved traffic control devices, will be constructed and erected by the
					 Department. The widths of such intersecting street or road connections will be
					 limited to the normal intersecting street or road width and turning radii
					 specified as deemed sufficient for the type of traffic expected. Minimum
					 Turning Radii shall conform to the most current version of the MDOT Roadway
					 Design Manual, Chapter 6.
2. It is
					 required that such temporary connections will be constructed to connect with
					 the frontage road at the time a frontage road is provided and will not
					 thereafter connect with the through traffic lanes. When the temporary
					 connection is reconstructed to connect with the frontage road, the median
					 opening will be removed by the Department. Proper notice to this condition of
					 approval shall be placed on the permit. (Reference: SECTION 507 of this Rule
					 and the MDOT Access Management Manual, Current Edition).
