(A) A driveway shall be so located that no undue interference with the free movement of street traffic will result. A driveway shall be so located also to provide the most favorable vision and grade conditions possible for motorists using the street and the driveway consistent with development of the site considering proper traffic operations and safety.
(B) A driveway, including the radii, but not including the right-turn lanes and tapers, shall be located entirely within the area between the permittee’s property lines extended to the centerline of the street. A driveway radius may extend, at the discretion of the Department of Public Works, outside of that area only if the adjacent property owner certifies, in writing, that he or she will permit such extension.
(C) If the driveway is to be located adjacent to a street intersection, the following shall apply:
(1) If the intersecting street is curbed, the point of curvature of the driveway radius shall be at least 20 feet from the point of curvature of the intersecting street radius;
(2) If the intersecting street is uncurbed, the point of curvature of the driveway radius shall be at least 50 feet from the edge of pavement of the intersecting street; or
(3) When an existing street or driveway is reconstructed or the requirements in divisions (C)(1) or (C)(2) above cannot be applied, the driveway radius shall not encroach upon the intersection radius unless such encroachment is physically unavoidable.
(D) A driveway shall not be constructed along the acceleration or deceleration lanes and tapers unless no other reasonable access point is available.
