(A) Three basic street classifications. The number and location of driveways shall be regulated according to the size of the property being served and the amount of public street frontage available to that property. The approval of more than one driveway serving a single tract with frontage on a public street shall be contingent upon a review of site plans for the proposed development. For this purpose, the village has developed three basic street classifications, consistent with those found in the Village Transportation Plan:
(1) Class A - Thoroughfares.
(a) This class of streets includes all streets designated as major or minor thoroughfares in the adopted Village Transportation Plan (see VTP Figure 3.5).
(b) These are typically divided or undivided multi-lane facilities serving a variety of land uses and carrying high traffic volumes. Such facilities may be state-owned and often feature extensive traffic control measures, including traffic signals and turn restrictions. The design/posted speed limit for these routes may range from 40 to 60 miles per hour.
(c) The adopted Village Transportation Plan should be consulted to determine the characteristics of streets in question. The designation of any roadway not listed can be verified with the village.
(2) Class B - Collectors.
(a) Collector routes are defined by the village's Collector Street Plan, and approved amendments.
(b) Although some collectors may be divided multi-lane facilities, most are typically undivided three-lane or two-lane routes with provisions for turn lanes at significant intersections. Like thoroughfares, they serve a variety of land uses, but volumes are lower and they are generally designated as village streets. Traffic control measures are generally less restrictive, and the range of design/posted speed limits for these routes is lower, from 30 to 50 miles per hour.
(c) The designation of any roadway can be verified with the village.
(3) Class C - Locals.
(a) Although most local streets feature primarily single-family residential development, some may provide access to a variety of other uses, including multi-family and low-intensity commercial and business uses.
(b) Local streets may occasionally intersect directly with thoroughfares, but more often transition to collector or thoroughfare facilities. Design/posted speeds are 35 mph or less.
(B) Class D - Special Corridors.
(1) Requirements for driveways proposed within the defined limits of any special corridors designated by this policy will vary as appropriate for the streets to be accessed.
(2) Design guidelines will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the village for these corridors. The village will maintain an inventory of any special corridors and their corresponding standards in the appendix of this chapter.
(3) Current corridors include: Lewisville-Clemmons Road (I-40 south to U.S. Highway 158-Clemmons Road)
