Current through June 25, 2024
1. Applications for permits to construct
					 driveways to a shopping center, mall and/or center, subdivision, factory,
					 industrial or commercial facility and/or any other large traffic generator
					 meeting traffic volume thresholds as defined in the MDOT Access Management
					 Manual shall require a Traffic Impact Analysis prior to the issuance of the
					 initial permit for access in order to determine the location, number, design,
					 etc. of the driveway connections to be allowed presently and in the future for
					 the entire development area.
2. The
					 Department, through its Access Management Manual and policies, will make every
					 effort to control the number of driveways to any large development, including
					 outparcels, in order to eliminate unwarranted conflict points between vehicles,
					 reduce congestion and delays, and to maintain an acceptable level of service on
					 the highway. When discussions are held between district personnel and a
					 developer, the developer will be advised of the Department's Access Management
					 Manual and policy to provide adequate ingress/egress between the overall
					 development and highway and that ingress/egress from outparcels to the highway
					 shall be accomplished by utilizing the internal circulation of the development
					 and development's driveways. The selling or leasing of outparcels within the
					 limits of the development to third parties shall in no way expand the number of
					 driveways as provided in the initial application for permits. Temporary
					 permitted driveways may be allowed for outparcels that are developed prior to
					 the construction of the permanent permitted driveways to the overall
					 development, but such temporary permitted driveways shall be removed by the
					 applicant or present owner at their own expense, and not at the Department's
					 expense, when the permanent permitted driveways are opened to
					 traffic.
3. The District will
					 inform the developer that the following note will be made a part of the
					 driveway permit:
"Ingress and/or egress to the adjacent right of way along
						the ______side of ______ between station number ________and ________ of Project
						Number _______shall be provided at station number(s) ______. No additional
						ingress and/or egress shall be allowed between station numbers _________and
