Virginia Administrative Code › Title 24 - TRANSPORTATION AND MOTOR VEHICLES › Agency 30 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › Chapter 73 - ACCESS MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS: MINOR ARTERIALS, COLLECTORS, AND LOCAL STREETS › Section 24VAC30-73-20 - Authority to regulate entrances to systems of state highways

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. VDOT's authority
				to regulate entrances and manage access to highways is provided in §§
				33.2-223, 33.2-240, 33.2-241, 33.2-242, and 33.2-245 of the Code of Virginia.
				Each proposed highway entrance creates a potential conflict point that impacts
				the safe and efficient flow of traffic on the highway; therefore, private
				property interests in access to the highway must be balanced with public
				interests of safety and mobility. Managing access to highways can reduce
				traffic congestion, help maintain the levels of service, enhance public safety
				by decreasing traffic conflict points, support economic development by
				promoting the efficient movement of people and goods, reduce the need for new
				highways and road widening by improving the performance of existing highways,
				preserve the public investment in new highways by maximizing their efficient
				operation, and better coordinate transportation and land use
				decisions.
B. The Commonwealth
				Transportation Board has the authority to designate highways as limited access
				and to regulate access rights to those facilities as provided in §
				33.2-401 of the Code of Virginia. No private or commercial entrances shall be
				permitted within limited access rights-of-way except as may be provided for by
				the regulation titled Change of Limited Access Control (24VAC30-401).
C. The district administrators or their
				designees are authorized to issue private entrance permits and commercial
				entrance permits in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

				with a copy to the district administrator's designee and the chief
				administrative officer of the locality where the entrance is proposed.
1. All appeals must be received within 30
				calendar days of receipt of written notification of denial or revocation or
				issuance of a permit with contested conditions and must set forth the grounds
				for the appeal and include copies of all prior correspondence with any local
				government official and VDOT representatives regarding the issue or issues. The
				permit applicant may request a meeting with the district administrator
				concerning the appeal and the district administrator will set a date, time, and
				location for such meeting.
2. After
				reviewing all pertinent information, the district administrator will advise the
				permit applicant in writing regarding the decision on the appeal within 60
				calendar days of receipt of the written appeal request or such longer timeframe

				convenient access, nor is VDOT obligated to approve the permit applicant's
				preferred entrance location or entrance design. If a parcel is served by more
				than one road in the systems of state highways, the district administrator's
				designee shall determine upon which road or roads the proposed entrance or
				entrances is or are to be constructed.
C. Entrance standards established by
				localities that are stricter than those of VDOT shall govern.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. No less than minimum intersection sight
				distance shall be obtained for a commercial entrance and no less than minimum
				stopping or intersection sight distance shall be obtained for a low volume
				commercial entrance. Sight distances shall be measured in accordance with VDOT
				practices, and sight distance requirements shall conform to VDOT standards as
				described in Appendix F of the Road Design Manual, 2011 (VDOT). The legal speed
				limit shall be used unless the design speed is available and approved for use
				by VDOT.
B. The operating speed
				may be used in lieu of the legal speed limit in cases where the permit
				applicant furnishes the district administrator's designee with a speed study
				prepared in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices,
				2003, revised 2007 (FHWA), methodology that demonstrates the operating speed of
				the segment of highway is lower than the legal speed limit and, in the judgment
				of the district administrator's designee, use of the operating speed will not
				compromise safety for either a driver at an entrance or a driver on the
				abutting highway.
C. VDOT may
				require that the vertical or horizontal alignment of the existing highway be
				adjusted to accommodate certain design elements of a proposed commercial
				entrance including, but not limited to, median openings, crossovers,
				roundabouts, and traffic signals, where adjustment is deemed necessary. The
				cost of any work performed to adjust the horizontal or vertical alignment of
				the highway to achieve required intersection sight distance at a proposed
				entrance shall be borne by the permit applicant.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A.
				The property owner shall identify the desired location of the private entrance
				with the assistance of the district administrator's designee. If the minimum
				intersection sight distance standards specified in Appendix F of the Road
				Design Manual, 2011 (VDOT), cannot be met, the entrance should be placed at the
				location with the best possible sight distance as determined by the district
				administrator's designee. The district administrator's designee may require the
				property owner to grade slopes, clear brush, remove trees, or conduct other
				similar efforts, or any combination of these, necessary to provide the safest
				possible means of ingress and egress that can be reasonably achieved.
B. The property owner shall obtain an
				entrance permit and, on shoulder and ditch section roads, shall be responsible
				for installing the private entrance in accordance with VDOT policies and
				engineering standards. The property owner may request VDOT to perform the
				stabilization of the shoulder and installation of the entrance pipe. In such
				cases, VDOT may install the private entrance pipe and will stabilize the
				shoulder at the property owner's expense. If VDOT installs these portions of
				the entrance, a cost estimate for the installation will be provided to the
				property owner; however, VDOT will bill the property owner the actual cost of
				installation. The property owner shall be responsible for all grading beyond
				the shoulder.
C. Grading and
				installation of a driveway from the edge of the pavement to the right-of-way
				line shall be the responsibility of the property owner.
D. Installation of a private entrance on a
				curb and gutter street shall be the responsibility of the property
				owner.
E. Maintenance of private
				entrances shall be by the owner of the entrance, except that VDOT shall
				maintain:
1. On shoulder section highways,
				that portion of the entrance within the normal shoulder portion of the
				highway.
2. On highways with
				ditches, the drainage pipe at the entrance.
3. On highways with curb, gutter, and
				sidewalk belonging to VDOT, that portion of the entrance that extends to the
				back of the sidewalk. If a sidewalk is not present, that portion of the
				entrance that extends to the back of the curb line.
4. On highways with curb, gutter, and
				sidewalk not belonging to VDOT, only to the flow line of the gutter
				pan.
5. On highways with shoulders,
				ditches, and sidewalk belonging to VDOT, that portion of the entrance that
				extends to the back of the sidewalk.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. For all
				commercial entrances, the permit applicant shall contact and coordinate with
				appropriate local government agencies to identify possible conflicts with
				local, state or federal regulations and plans, including but not limited to
				local zoning and subdivision regulations, environmental regulations, land use
				plans, transportation plans, corridor studies, and access management
				plans.
B. If local governments have
				established site plan/subdivision plat approval processes for developments,
				VDOT will not approve a commercial entrance permit for the development prior to
				the local government's approval of the site plan or subdivision plat for the
				development. If neither a local government site plan nor a subdivision plat
				approval process is applicable, VDOT will not approve a commercial entrance
				permit for the development prior to the local government's approval of any
				applicable land use authorization for the development.
C. Any transportation-related funds, real
				property, or improvements committed to or received by a local government
				through the land use regulatory process does not release the applicant from
				fees and improvements required by VDOT. When a local government requires
				improvements to the abutting state highway in accordance with the locality's
				adopted transportation plan, VDOT may require additional improvements to ensure
				the safety and capacity of the proposed entrances and to manage existing
				entrances along the highway.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Precedence of local subdivision ordinance.
				  Pursuant to § 33.2-705 of the Code of Virginia, new streets are
				  established by the governing body of the locality in which they are located.
				  Any requirements of the subdivision ordinance adopted by the governing body
				  that are equal to or greater than these provisions shall become the
				  department's requirements in that locality and govern unless the local
				  governing body concurs with an exception to their higher standards.
B. Exemptions in local ordinances. The
				  department does not recognize any provision of an ordinance adopted by the
				  governing body that exempts the development of streets from these requirements
				  based on its definition of the term subdivision. Consequently, any street
				  proposed for addition to the secondary system of state highways maintained by
				  the department shall comply with applicable requirements as herein provided or,
				  if greater than these provisions, the requirements of the local
				  ordinance.
Statutory Authority: § 33.2-210 of the Code of
						Virginia.

The continuity of a publicly maintained street system is a
					 prerequisite to the addition of any subdivision street into the secondary

					 if it is the continuation of the network of public streets whose maintenance
					 has been officially accepted by the department or, if appropriate, a city, town
					 or county.

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A.
				  Conceptual subdivision sketch. Prior to preparing detailed construction plans
				  for review, the resident engineer shall be provided a preliminary plan of the
				  entire development, prepared by the developer, that shows sufficient
				  information for VDOT to review and concur with the functional classification
				  proposed for each street in the subdivision. Any preliminary or conceptual
				  plat, plan or sketch that conforms to the locality's zoning requirements or
				  subdivision ordinance is acceptable if the required information is shown. The
				  submittal should include:
1. The general
				  location and configuration, including the terminus, of each street, including
				  the traffic volume anticipated when the land served is fully developed in
				  accordance with the land uses anticipated.
2. The location and area of each type of
				  permitted land use within the subdivision.
3. The location of any proposed
				  transportation facility, within the subdivision's boundaries, included in the
				  comprehensive plan of the governing body.
4. The proposed functional classification for
				  each street in the subdivision.
5.
				  Other available information pertinent to the intended development of the
				  subdivision, including but not limited to any proposed phased development of
				  streets pursuant to
				  24VAC30-91-70 (Phased development
				  of subdivision streets).
The resident engineer will review the layout and functional
					 classification of streets shown in the concept plan and notify the appropriate
					 county official in writing, as well as the developer, if applicable, of his
					 concurrence or recommendations. Approval of the conceptual plan or subdivision
					 sketch shall be considered concurrence only in the functional classifications
					 and layout of the streets and is deemed to satisfy any requirement for
					 notification to the county official. This approval or concurrence will be valid
					 as long as the basic concept for the subdivision's development, as submitted
					 for review, remains unchanged.
Virginia Administrative Code › Title 24 - TRANSPORTATION AND MOTOR VEHICLES › Agency 30 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › Chapter 91 - SUBDIVISION STREET REQUIREMENTS › Part I - General Provisions › Section 24VAC30-91-70 - Phased development of subdivision streets

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Policy. Certain subdivision streets that
				  require four or more travel lanes to accommodate the projected traffic may be
				  accepted by the department for maintenance after completion of the first two
				  lanes to an acceptable, initial phase of construction, upon the request of the
				  governing body. It is recognized that there is a distinction between those
				  streets that benefit the overall transportation network and those that
				  primarily serve the development of land and, therefore, the criteria for phased
				  construction for each situation differs as described in subsection B of this
				  section.
However, in all cases, the right-of-way required for the
					 road at its complete stage of construction shall be dedicated and accepted as
					 part of the initial street acceptance. In addition, the initial phase of
					 construction shall be designed and constructed to facilitate construction of
					 the remaining phase in a manner that will avoid the need to reconstruct the
					 initial two lanes.
Consideration for the acceptance of any street under the
					 provisions of this section shall be limited to the phased development of only
					 the street's roadway. All other applicable requirements, e.g., public service,
					 drainage easements, and administrative procedures, shall apply.
B. Criteria.
1. For streets included in the transportation
				  element of the county's comprehensive plan that serve diverse areas of the
				  region or county, no special agreement or acknowledgement is needed as a
				  prerequisite to acceptance, provided:
a. The
				  street is part of a transportation corridor that was formally adopted as a part
				  of the county's comprehensive transportation plan prior to the local governing
				  body's approval of the plat or plan for the development of the adjacent
				  land.
b. The transportation
				  corridor is a major thoroughfare planned primarily to move through
				  traffic.
c. When fully developed
				  the street must satisfy the department's functional classification criteria as
				  a major collector or higher.
d. The
				  street has a projected traffic volume of 8,000 vehicles per day or less for a
				  period of 10 years following the date of the acceptance for maintenance by the
				  department.
Virginia Administrative Code › Title 24 - TRANSPORTATION AND MOTOR VEHICLES › Agency 30 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION › Chapter 91 - SUBDIVISION STREET REQUIREMENTS › Part I - General Provisions › Section 24VAC30-91-80 - Connections to or work within streets maintained by the department

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Connections to
				  streets maintained by the department. A land use permit issued by the
				  department is required for new connections of any kind to existing streets
				  maintained by the department. Due to the wide variation in prevailing
				  conditions, each location shall be evaluated individually to determine exact
				  requirements. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the developer or his designee to
				  apply for a land use permit at the appropriate time to ensure the desired
				  completion of the development. Such application shall be made to the resident
				  engineer and be consistent with the approved plats or plans for the subdivision
				  or the document reviewed for the connection of a street that is to remain
				  privately maintained.
B.
				  Relocations, adjustments, and improvement of streets maintained by the
				  department. All work performed within the existing right-of-way of streets
				  maintained by the department, including pavement widening, the addition of turn
				  lanes, realignments and relocations of existing streets, shall be coordinated
				  with and approved by VDOT as follows:
1. All
				  such work shall be accomplished pursuant to a land use permit issued by the
				  department after the required right-of-way has been dedicated to public use or
				  as otherwise required by the department.
2. All work, including the relocation,
				  adjustment, and improvement of existing streets under VDOT jurisdiction shall
				  be subject to the department's direction rather than these requirements. Such
				  work should include overlaying and restriping the old and new portions of the
				  roadway.
3. The relocation of
				  streets maintained by the department shall only be accomplished with the
				  consent of the local governing body.
4. Traffic should be maintained on streets
				  under the department's jurisdiction until the new portion has been accepted by
				  the department for maintenance unless the department authorizes a closure of
				  the road to traffic.
5. No street
				  or roadway maintained by the department and actively used by the public shall
				  be abandoned or vacated unless a new street serving the same citizens has been
				  constructed and accepted for maintenance by the department.
6. Streets previously discontinued exist as a
				  public way under the jurisdiction of the local governing body and should be
				  abandoned or vacated prior to the development of land associated with such
				  streets.

The department's resident engineers are authorized
					 considerable discretionary authority regarding the design of subdivision
					 streets functionally classified as "local." Such judgments should take into
					 consideration the individual situation, but in no instance are the safety
					 features, structural integrity, or traffic capacities prescribed by these
					 requirements to be sacrificed. Meandering alignment and rolling grades are
					 satisfactory, provided adequate stopping sight distances and reasonable
					 alignment and gradients are provided to safely accommodate the projected
					 traffic at the design speed.

The district administrator is authorized to consider and
					 render a ruling on unresolved differences of opinion between the developer and
					 the resident engineer that pertain to the interpretation and application of
					 these requirements.
To obtain this review, the developer shall provide the
					 district administrator, the resident engineer and the county official a written
					 request for such action, describing any unresolved issue. After reviewing all
					 pertinent information, the district administrator will advise the developer in
					 writing regarding the decision of the appeal, with a copy to the county
					 official and the resident engineer. The developer may further appeal the
					 district administrator's decision to the commissioner's designee. All
					 correspondence requesting an appeal should include copies of all prior
					 correspondence regarding the issue or issues with the county officials and
					 department representatives.
