10-1-1: DRIVEWAYS, DEFINITIONS AND PURPOSE:
Driveways are privately owned roads which connect residences, buildings, parking lots and other areas with public roads and highways. Although driveways are essential to provide access to these facilities,, they can produce hazardous roadway conditions. Engineering studies show that as residential and commercial development expands along public roadways, accident rates increase. The purpose is to review the design and frequency of driveways in order to minimize the incidence of accidents and thereby maintain a reasonable and safe traffic flow along the Village roadways.
