Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) As
				described at N.J.A.C. 16:47-1.2(d), adjustment, modification, or removal of a
				driveway may be done in conjunction with State highway projects advanced by the
				Department or others, or through separate access projects. The Department may
				adjust, modify, or remove a driveway based upon maximum achievement of the
				goals and purposes of this chapter, if it determines that compliance with this
				chapter is not reasonably attainable or would leave the lot or site without
				reasonable access to the general system of streets and State highways as a
				result of the project. An adjustment, modification, or removal of access will
				allow continuation of the existing use on the lot or site.
(b) Alterations of driveways are described as
				follows:
1. Adjustment of a driveway is:
i. Changing the width of a driveway by five
				feet or less;
ii. Changing the
				location of a driveway by 10 feet or less;
iii. Moving a driveway away from the
				centerline of the highway, such as when the highway is widened; or
iv. Changing the slope of a
				driveway;

(a) When a
				driveway is adjusted, existing or grandfathered permits will be revised to
				reflect the adjusted access and an administrative permit will be
				issued.
(b) The Department will
				provide the lot or site owner written notice if a right-of-entry is required to
				perform an adjustment of a driveway and the Department is not acquiring any
				right-of-way. The lot or site owner will not be notified if all work required
				to adjust a driveway can be accomplished within the State highway ROW. Public
				notice of the highway improvement project will be provided prior to the
				beginning of construction.
(c) An
				adjustment of a driveway may not be appealed; however, a lot or site owner may
				meet with the Department to discuss issues related to the adjustment of a
				driveway.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 16 - TRANSPORTATION › Chapter 47 - STATE HIGHWAY ACCESS MANAGEMENT CODE › Subchapter 11 - DEPARTMENT ADJUSTMENT, MODIFICATION, AND REMOVAL OF DRIVEWAYS › Section 16:47-11.4 - Removal of driveways

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) For
				removal of all ingress to a lot or site from a State highway or all egress from
				a lot or site to a State highway, the existing permit or grandfathered permit
				will be revised to reflect the removal of ingress or egress and the attached
				plan will show any non-State highway access. An administrative permit will be
				issued.
(b) After removal of all
				State highway access and establishment of the alternative access, the existing
				or grandfathered permit will be revoked. An administrative permit will be
				issued reflecting the non- State highway access and indicating that no access
				will be allowed on the State highway.
(c) Prior to removal of all ingress to a lot
				or site from a State highway, all egress from a lot or site to a State highway,
				or both, the Department will determine that the lot or site will have
				reasonable access to the general system of streets and State highways. In
				addition, the following conditions must be met for alternative access:
1. For a lot or site zoned for commercial
				purposes, the lot or site has the use of a driveway onto a street, easement, or
				service road, which is of sufficient design to support commercial traffic to
				the business or use established on the site and is so situated that motorists
				will have a convenient, direct, and well-marked means of both reaching the
				business or use and returning to the State highway. Commercial purposes
				include, but are not limited to, wholesale facilities, retail facilities,
				service establishments, office buildings, research buildings, and residential
				parcels of at least 25 acres and at least four residential units per
				acre;
2. For a lot or site zoned
				for industrial purposes, access onto any street, access road, or easement
				across an industrial access road, which is of sufficient design to support
				necessary truck and employee access as required by the industry;
3. For a lot or site zoned for residential or
				agricultural purposes (except as provided in (c)1 above), access onto any
				street; or
4. If a lot or site that
				is used for a purpose other than that for which it is zoned, the existing use
				shall be used to determine which of the additional conditions in (c)1 through 3
				above must be satisfied.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 16 - TRANSPORTATION › Chapter 47 - STATE HIGHWAY ACCESS MANAGEMENT CODE › Subchapter 12 - ACCESS MANAGEMENT PLANS › Section 16:47-12.1 - Purpose and scope

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) The
				Department may adopt, as supplements to this chapter, site-specific access
				management plans (AMPs) for individual segments of a State highway.
(b) The objective of an AMP is to provide a
				safe and efficient highway system by minimizing the number of driveways and
				reducing vehicular and pedestrian conflict points. The plan shall include any
				needed future operational and safety improvements, and should reflect community
				values and vision and identify the means of access for each lot or site on the
				State highway segment.
(c) Through
				the coordination of municipal land use regulation and the Department's control
				of direct State highway access pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, an
				AMP shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. An access envelope that meets the
				provisions of this chapter or could be approved as a waiver issued pursuant to
				N.J.A.C. 16:47-9.9, for each lot or site within the subject State highway
				segment;
2. The maximum number of
				driveways within each access envelope that meets the provisions of this chapter
				or could be approved as a waiver issued pursuant to N.J.A.C.
				16:47-9.9;
3. An access envelope
				for non-State highway driveways, if appropriate, for each lot or
				site;
4. The maximum number of
				trips to be generated by each lot or site;
5. All existing and proposed shared driveways
				and common driveways, indicating existing and proposed easements. A common
				driveway is a driveway between a State highway and a lot or site used by more
				than one lot where another driveway between the State highway and the lot or
				site also exists;
6. Identification
				and location of future operational and safety improvements;
7. Trip generation thresholds and operational
				levels that will trigger the need for construction of highway capacity and
				safety improvements; and
8. A
				traffic signal location envelope, when appropriate, which identifies the number
				and general location of traffic signals within the subject State highway
				segment.

New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 16 - TRANSPORTATION › Chapter 47 - STATE HIGHWAY ACCESS MANAGEMENT CODE › Appendix B-1 - DESIRABLE TYPICAL SECTIONS FOR STATE HIGHWAYS

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
This chart shows the desirable typical section descriptions for
				State highways and the maximum acceptable expanded width of State highway
				segments. The width of lanes, shoulders, parking, border areas, and ROW shown
				are those derived from the standards for desirable geometric design elements.
				The ROW width needed for the construction of the highway improvement may be
				less than the dimensions shown when less than desirable geometric design
				elements are used.
A designation of 1A means that social, environmental, or
				economic constraints may limit the desirability of State highway segment
				expansion. If compelling safety needs dictate, the Department will construct,
				or require a lot or site owner to construct, highway improvements consistent
				with applicable design standards.

New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 16 - TRANSPORTATION › Chapter 47 - STATE HIGHWAY ACCESS MANAGEMENT CODE › Appendix C - ACCESS LEVELS AND DIAGRAMS

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
C-1 The access levels (AL) 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). A
				description and diagrams of these ALs 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. Note that AL
				1 is considered Cell "0" in N.J.A.C. 16:47 Appendix A. See Figures C-1 and C-2
				below.
2. AL 2--left-turn movements from a State highway via street
				intersections, grade-separated interchanges, or a nonconforming lot driveway
				where the Commissioner determines that non-State highway access is not
				available. See Figures C-3 through C-5 below.
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. See Figures C-6 through C-9 below.
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 highway, but
				may or may not be at the driveway or street for a divided highway. See Figures
				C-10 through C-14 below.
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. See Figures C-15 through C-19 below.
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. See Figure C-20
				below.
C-2 Right-turn movements from a State highway to a lot or site
				are not allowed on AL 2 State highways where the Commissioner determines that
				non-State highway access is available. If non-State highway access is not
				available, right-turn movements to and from the lot are generally
				allowed.
C-3 Right-turn movements from a State highway are generally
				allowed on all AL 3 through AL 6 State highways, unless otherwise precluded due
				to design or safety considerations.
C-4 Left and right-turn movements from a lot or site to a State
				highway are generally allowed on all AL 3 through AL 6 State highways, unless
				otherwise prohibited by regulation or by highway configuration.
