(A) The intent of this subchapter is to recognize that the traffic conditions along Bay Road (M-84) from Tittabawassee to Freeland Road are basically the same as along Tittabawassee Road. It is the purpose of this subchapter to minimize potential traffic problems along this corridor.
(B) The provisions of this subchapter are intended to:
(1) Promote safe and efficient travel within the M-84 Overlay District;
(2) Minimize disruptive and potentially hazardous traffic conflicts;
(3) Ensure safe access by emergency vehicles;
(4) Protect the substantial public investment in the road system by preserving capacity and avoiding the need for unnecessary and costly reconstruction which disrupts business and traffic flow;
(5) Separate traffic conflict areas by reducing the number of driveways;
(6) Provide safe spacing standards between driveways and between driveways and intersections;
(7) Provide for shared access between abutting properties;
(8) Implement the M-84 Corridor access management plan and map recommendations;
(9) Ensure reasonable access to properties, though not always by the most direct access; and
(10) Coordinate access decisions with the State Department of Transportation and/or the Bay and County Road Commission, as applicable.
