The location and width of entrance and exit driveways to and from parking facilities shall be planned to interfere as little as possible with the use of nearby property and with pedestrian and vehicular traffic on the nearest street. Therefore, whenever possible, the centerline of access driveways on the frontage street shall be at least fifty feet from the right-of-way line of the nearest intersecting street and shall be spaced at not less than 120-foot intervals, measured from the centerline of the driveway. At least two separate driveways shall be provided and whenever possible they shall be limited to either an entrance or an exit. Entrances and exits shall be limited to two lanes. The width of such entrances and exists shall conform to the following schedule:
Width in Feet | ||
Access Drive | Minimum | Maximum |
One lane | 10 | 12 |
Two lanes | 20 | 24 |
In all cases, the radius of the edge of the apron shall be at least twenty feet or as approved by the Traffic Engineer, but not less than fifteen feet, so that a car may enter or leave the curb lane without obstructing vehicles in other traffic lanes. The maximum curb cut shall be limited to the width of the entrance or exit, plus the radius of the apron. (
