New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 16 - TRANSPORTATION › Chapter 47 - STATE HIGHWAY ACCESS MANAGEMENT CODE › Subchapter 4 - ACCESS CLASSIFICATIONS AND LEVELS › Section 16:47-4.1 - General requirements

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) An access
				classification system is established for the State highway system. This system
				is based on the access class, the environment within which the highway is
				located (such as whether it is in an urban or rural area), the speed limit, and
				the desirable typical section (DTS), of the State highway. The access
				classification system identifies both the access level (AL) and DTS for each
				segment of the State highway system. Descriptions and diagrams of these access
				levels can be found in N.J.A.C. 16:47 Appendix C. The access classification
				system matrix is found in N.J.A.C. 16:47 Appendix A.
(b) The access levels for the State highway
				system establish the allowable left-turn movements from a State highway to a
				lot, site, or street, and range from AL 1 (most restrictive) to AL 6 (least
				restrictive) are as follows:
1. AL 1--fully
				controlled access. Access is prohibited except at grade-separated interchanges.
				Examples of fully controlled access roadways include interstates, freeways, and
				limited access State highways.
2.
				AL 2--left-turn movements from a State highway via street intersections,
				grade-separated interchanges, or to a nonconforming lot driveway where the
				Commissioner determines that non-State highway access is not
				available.
3. AL 3--left-turn
				movements from a State highway via a signalized jughandle. The jughandle may or
				may not be at the lot or site driveway or street.
4. AL 4--left-turn movements from a State
				highway via a left-turn lane where warranted by traffic volumes and design
				requirements. The left-turn lane will be at the driveway or street for an
				undivided State highway, but may or may not be at the driveway or street for a
				divided State highway.
5. AL
				5--left-turn movements from a State highway to a lot, site, or street. A
				left-turn lane may be required where warranted by traffic volumes and design
				requirements.
6. AL 6--left-turn
				movements from a State highway to a lot, site, or street. A left-turn lane may
				be required where warranted by traffic volumes and design requirements.
				Frontage roads and service roads that parallel State highways are included in
				this classification.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
The access classification, AL, DTS, and the cell number
				  designation for any particular State highway segment are determined by
				  referring to N.J.A.C. 16:47 Appendices A, B-1, and B-2. Access classification
				  applies to both sides of the State highway, unless otherwise
				  noted.

(a) A
				change in the access classification of a State highway segment may affect the
				AL, the limits of the segment, the DTS, and its cell number designation in
				N.J.A.C. 16:47 Appendix A. The access classification matrix in N.J.A.C. 16:47
				Appendix A will be used to determine the designation of the segment in N.J.A.C.
				16:47 Appendix B-2. A change in the designation of urban or rural environment
				or in the designation of high or low speed could result in a change in the
				access classification shown in N.J.A.C. 16:47 Appendix B-2.
(b) Any person may request a change in the
				access classification of a State highway segment, including, but not limited
				to, the AL, the DTS, and the access class. Requests for proposed changes shall
				be for the following minimum segment lengths:
1. Accessible principal arterials--one
				mile;
2. Minor arterials--one-half
				mile;
3. Major or minor
				collectors--one-half mile; and

(a) The Bureau of
				Major Access Permits will determine whether an application meets the criteria
				for the type of application applied for and whether the application is
				acceptable for review and send a written notice of these determinations to the
				applicant within 10 days of receipt.
(b) A major application will be reviewed and
				either approved or denied within a maximum of 90 days. If the application is
				approved, the Bureau of Major Access Permits will request that the applicant
				submit the permit documents and the permit fee. A permit will be issued within
				a maximum of 95 days of receipt of a complete application if the application is
				approved.
(c) The applicant shall
				submit the completed and signed permit documents and permit fee to the Bureau
				of Major Access Permits within 180 calendar days of the Bureau of Major Access
				Permits' notice of approval. Applicants failing to respond on time will have
				their applications rejected.
(d)
				When the Department requests information from the applicant, the step in the
				process and its associated time frame will restart once the Department receives
				the information. If the applicant does not provide the Department with the
				requested information within 90 days of the request, the application shall be
				considered withdrawn.
(e) The
				permittee shall notify the Regional Maintenance Office in writing after the
				permittee constructs the access and meets all conditions of the permit. The
				Regional Maintenance Office will notify the permittee if any corrective action
				is required by the permittee within 30 calendar days of its receipt of the
				notice.
(f) If the Bureau of Major
				Access Permits finds either the same form deficiency or the same technical
				content deficiency three times in an applicant's submissions, then the
				application will be rejected and the applicant must reapply and submit a new
				application and fee.
(g) If the
				applicant changes the proposed development or access plan in response to
				Department comments, a new application and fee will not be required unless the
				applicant fails to eliminate all deficiencies within three submissions. If the
				applicant unilaterally changes the proposed development or access plan,
				however, a new application and fee shall always be submitted.

				applicant may initiate the access approval process through a concept review.
				Concept reviews may also be used for initiating the approval process for
				developments that are not expected to be constructed within two years of the
				date of an access permit. The concept review enables the applicant to obtain
				Department feedback without the expense of preparing detailed plans.
(b) When seeking to obtain conceptual
				approval for a major access permit before preparing full-scale plans, the
				applicant shall submit a concept review application with plans or a sketch,
				including the support information listed in N.J.A.C 16:47-4.1 6. A traffic
				impact study shall be included if a planning review is required.

New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 16 - TRANSPORTATION › Chapter 47 - STATE HIGHWAY ACCESS MANAGEMENT CODE › Subchapter 4 - ACCESS CLASSIFICATIONS AND LEVELS › Section 16:47-4.23 - Analysis years

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Traffic
				analyses shall be performed by the applicant for the year in which the
				development is fully built out.
(b)
				Fair-share financial contributions or highway improvements and development may
				be staged, as long as appropriate fair-share financial contributions are made
				in advance of each stage. When the fair-share financial contributions and the
				development are staged, the years to be analyzed will be for the years in which
				fair-share financial contributions are made.
(c) The applicant should not limit the
				traffic analysis focus to the specific location identified where an
				unacceptable deterioration of the LOS standards has been identified. In many
				cases it is preferable to direct site-generated traffic to other roadways. In
				other cases, improvements apart from the problem site may divert enough
				background traffic to make room for the site generated traffic and thus
				mitigate the impacts. Most capacity analyses assume that each intersection is
				acting independently; therefore, care must be taken to interpret the
				interactions between intersections and adjacent driveways.
(d) The following table summarizes the
				requirements of this section:
Development Stages
