The location and width of entrance and exit driveways on private property shall be planned to interfere as little as possible with the use of nearby property and with pedestrian and vehicular traffic on the nearest streets. The centerline of the access driveways on the frontage street shall be at least thirty-five feet from the right-of-way line of the nearest intersecting street. Where there is more than one driveway to a parking area, the driveways, whenever possible, shall be limited to one-way travel either as an entrance to or exit from the parking area. Entrances and exits shall be limited to three lanes. The width of such entrances and exits, measured at the street property line, shall conform to the following requirements:
Width (ft.) | ||
Lanes | Minimum | Maximum |
1 | 12 | 14 |
2 | 20 | 28 |
3 | 30 | 40 |
In all cases, the radius of the edge of the driveway apron shall be at least fifteen feet so that a motor vehicle entering or leaving will not obstruct vehicles in other traffic lanes in the driveway or street.
