highway. Normally a maximum of two access points shall be allowed regardless of the number of lots served. • The property owner shall enter into a written agreement with Garner, recorded with the deed for the property, that pre‐existing connections along the frontage will be closed and eliminated after construction of joint use driveways. • The Garner Town Engineer may modify or waive the requirements of this section where the characteristics or layout of abutting properties would make implementation of joint use driveways or development of a shared access circulation system impractical, provided that all the following requirements are met: • Joint access driveways and cross access easements are provided wherever feasible. • The site plan incorporates a unified access and circulation system. Median Openings: • No new median openings shall be allowed along roadways with an existing center median unless it is in conformance with latest edition of Median Crossover Guidelines for North Carolina Streets and Highways published by the North Carolina DOT. In all circumstances, new median openings shall not encroach on the functional area of an existing median opening or intersection. Approval of any new opening lies ultimately with the North Carolina DOT Traffic Engineering and Safety Systems Branch. • Minimum criteria for evaluating a request for a new median opening may include, but not be limited to, the following: • Median openings shall not be located where intersection sight distance (both vertical and horizontal) cannot meet current design criteria required by the North Carolina DOT. • Median openings shall not be placed in areas where the grade of the crossover will exceed five percent. Special consideration should be given to the vertical profile of any proposed new median opening that has the potential for future signalization. • A median opening shall not be provided where the median width is less than sixteen feet. • Median openings that require a traffic signal, or where one may be expected in the future, should be avoided. • It is the responsibility of the property owner to provide the justification for new medians.

Throat Length Distances: The connection depth of a driveway (throat length) as measured from the edge of the abutting roadway to the near edge of the internal circulation road or buffer area shall be of sufficient length to allow a driver to enter the site without interfering with the mainline of traffic. The Figure below shows the minimum throat lengths based on both site activities as well as the category of adjacent roadway (either minor or major thoroughfare). Figure 3. Minimum Throat Lengths for Minor and Major Thoroughfare Entrances SITE ACTIVITY THROAT LENGTHS Minor | Major Regional Shopping Centers (Malls) 250’ 250’ Community Shopping Center (Supermarket, Drug Store) 80’ 100’ Small Strip Shopping Center 30’ 100’ Regional Office Complex 250’ 250’ Office Center 80’ 100’ Small Commercial Developments 30’ 100’ Sight Distance Requirements: Driveways shall not be permitted to connect with any highway, road, street or frontage road at a location if it does not meet the minimum stopping sight distance criteria, based on vertical or horizontal alignment, terrain or other reasons which will cause an undue hazard to the traveling public. Any driveway application that does not provide adequate sight distance as outlined in the above listed design manual shall be denied. In order to provide adequate sight distance in both directions when entering the highway, driveway entrances and exits Appendix D: Access Management Guidelines Page | 169 December 10, 2009
