Info

Frontage – The length along the street right‐of‐way line of a single property tract or roadside development area between the edges of the property lines. Property at a street intersection (i.e., corner lot) has a separate frontage along each street. Full Median Opening – An opening in a restrictive median that allows all turning and through movements to be made. Fully Developed (Type of Area) – The land use adjacent to the roadway is less than 10% vacant. ITE – Institute of Transportation Engineers. Joint Driveway – A single access point connecting two or more contiguous sites to a public roadway that serves more than one property or development, including those in different ownership or in which access rights are provided in legal descriptions. Major Intersection – An intersection with high volumes exceeding the MUTCD warrants for signalization. Median – The portion of a divided highway separating the traveled ways for traffic in opposing directions. Median Opening Spacing – The spacing between openings in a restrictive median that allow for crossing the opposing traffic to access property or U‐turns. The distance is measured from centerline to centerline of the openings. MUTCD – Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. NCDOT – North Carolina Department of Transportation Posted Speed – The speed limit set and maintained by the NCDOT or Garner. Sight Distance – This is the area that establishes a clear line of sight for a waiting vehicle to see on‐coming traffic and make turning movements into or out of a street or driveway connection safely or for traffic to see entering or waiting vehicles. Storage Length – Additional lane footage added to a turning lane to hold the maximum number of vehicles likely during a peak period so as not to interfere with through travel lanes. Throat Length – The distance between the edge of the nearest travel lane to the near edge of an internal drive interior to the site that represents the first opportunity for a car to make a turn into a parking lot.

Traffic Impact Study – A report initiated in response to a proposed development that compares the anticipated roadway conditions with and without the development. The report may include an analysis of mitigation measures. Access Connections: All connections in Garner shall meet or exceed the minimum connection spacing requirements as specified in Table 1 (refer also to Figure 2). Table 1. Minimum Median Opening, Driveway, and Signal Spacing Posted Speed Limit Signal Spacing Full Median Spacing Directional Median Opening Adjacent Driveway Spacing Opposite Street Driveway > 45MPH 2,000 ft 2,000 ft 1,000 ft 500 ft 500 ft 26‐44 MPH 1,200 ft 1,200 ft 600 ft 100 ft 100 ft < 25 MPH 600 ft 600 ft 300 ft 100 ft 100 ft • Spacing between driveways or medians shall be measured along the right‐of‐way line between the tangent projection of the inside edges of adjacent driveways, opposite street driveways or median openings. • The Garner Town Engineer may reduce the connection spacing requirements for situations where they prove impractical, but in no case shall the permitted spacing be less than 85% of the standard. Spacing below 85% of the standard will require the issuance of a variance. • For sites with insufficient road frontage to meet minimum spacing requirements, consideration shall first be given to providing access via connection to a side street, utilization of a joint or shared driveway with an adjacent property that meets the recommended spacing requirement, or development of a service road to serve multiple properties. • The Garner Town Engineer, in coordination with the North Carolina DOT, may grant access approval for a permanent use not meeting the spacing requirements of these guidelines on an interim basis if an access plan is submitted that demonstrates how spacing requirements will ultimately be met and appropriate assurances in the form of a recordable and enforceable easement of access Appendix D: Access Management Guidelines Page | 165 December 10, 2009
