should be at a 90 degree angle. Angles less than 90 degrees should not be constructed unless justified by an engineering analysis and in no case shall be less than 60 degrees with the highway. Additional Design Criteria: • Offset Access Connections: On undivided roadway segments, access connections on opposing sides of the highway shall be offset at an adequate distance to minimize overlapping left turns and other maneuvers that may result in safety hazards or operational problems. • Auxiliary Lanes: Auxiliary lanes (left or right turn lanes) shall be required for new driveways where they meet the North Carolina DOT or ITE warrants. • Out‐parcel Access: All access to an out‐parcel shall be internalized using the shared circulation system of the principle development. Access to out‐parcels shall be designed to avoid excessive movement across parking aisles and queuing across surrounding parking and driving aisles. Minimum On‐Site Vehicle Storage Area: Adequate storage must be provided within the internal circulation system for properties that include either a drop‐off loop or drive‐through facility so that vehicles do not queue onto the highway system. Specific storage areas will be determined by the Garner Engineer in cooperation with the North Carolina DOT on a case‐by‐case basis during the development review process. However, the following minimum storage lengths are required for specific development types: (A) For single‐lane drive‐in banks, storage to accommodate a minimum queue of six vehicles will be provided. Banks having several drive‐in service windows will have storage to accommodate a minimum of four vehicles per service lane. (B) For single‐lane drive‐through full service car washes, storage to accommodate a minimum of twelve vehicles will be provided. Automatic or self service car washes having a multi‐bay design will have a minimum vehicle storage length of three vehicles per bay. (C) For fast‐food restaurants with drive‐in window service, storage within the site to accommodate a minimum of eight vehicles per service lane from the menu board/ ordering station will be provided. (D) For service stations where the pump islands are parallel to the pavement edge, a minimum setback of 35 feet between the pump islands and the public right‐of‐way will be provided. For service stations where the pump islands are not parallel to the pavement Appendix D: Access Management Guidelines Page | 170 December 10, 2009
edge, minimum vehicle storage of 50 feet in length between the pump islands and the public right‐of‐way will be provided. (E) For land uses that require an entry transaction or have service attendants, gates or other entry control devices, the vehicle storage will have an adequate length so that entering vehicles do not queue back on the adjacent right‐of‐way. No portion of a parking area, attendant booth, gates, signing or parking activity shall encroach on the public right‐of‐way. (F) For schools, adequate storage for parental drop‐off and pick up areas should be provided entirely on the school campus site. Crossroad Access Spacing at Interchanges: Minimum access spacing on crossroads for freeway interchange areas is critical for avoiding traffic backups and providing safe maneuvering distances for turning and weaving vehicles to enter the appropriate lanes. No driveway, intersection, or median opening will be allowed less than 500 feet from the end of the taper of the ramp furthest from the interchange. If the proposed distances are less than the minimum spacing then a written justification demonstrating why the recommended distances cannot be met shall be submitted to the Garner and NCDOT for approval as an exception. Traffic Impact Assessment: A traffic impact assessment (TIA) study may be required by the Garner Engineer or the North Carolina DOT District Engineer to evaluate one or all access locations proposed in a development application. The estimated trip generation shall be based on the latest edition of the ITE Trip Generation Report. If required according to the Garner Unified Development Ordinance Article 3.5, the traffic study shall be completed in conformance with the minimum rules and procedures set forth in the Policy on Street and Driveway Access to North Carolina Highways. Variances: The granting of a variance shall be in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Garner Access Management Guidelines and shall not be considered until every feasible option for meeting the minimum access management standards is explored. Applicants for a variance from the standards must provide proof of unique or special conditions that make strict application of the provisions impractical. This shall include proof that: • Indirect or restricted access cannot be obtained. Appendix D: Access Management Guidelines Page | 171 December 10, 2009
