Conflicts and <br />potential congestion occur at all intersections - public and private. Methods to reduce conflict <br />include: <br />■ Separating the conflicts by reducing the number of driveways and intersections; <br />■ Limiting certain maneuvers such as left turns; and <br />• Separating conflicts by providing turn lanes. <br />No access drives should be located within the operations area of an intersection. Driver conflicts <br />need to be spaced in order to eliminate overlaps between through traffic and right turns. It is <br />recommended that new driveway locations should comply with the minimum corner clearance <br />criteria indicated in Figure 5.1 on the following page. Proper spacing of driveways permits <br />adequate storage and stacking of automobiles on the public street. This distance may have to be <br />increased in cases with high volumes to ensure that driveways do not interfere with the operation <br />of turning lanes at intersections. <br />~ <br />7'w~~ ~.'~k~ a , "~`a'~~5 ~ <br />SuG <br />GES ~AXI <br />um Number <br />~ <br />. <br />xwy x <br />~6~ ~p~ e S,~acing~ ~ ~ <br />g <br />- <br />af Dr~'~ewa 5~~~ E~~ <br />~ ~ <br />4 ~ W: <br />~111-~:~„~~ <br />N r <br />0 <br />~ <br />. <br />nc~tvided Arteri~_~r~'ee ~ ~ <br /> <br />j <br />- 4 ~ <br />Aivtdec~ Ai=~~rial~tree <br />y <br />u> <br />T"~ <br />ta <br />th" <br />of Lot <br />~L <br />= <br />o <br />~ 7Len~th of~L`~ot Fronta <br />e <br /> <br />. <br />.g <br />ng <br />. <br />. <br />o~ <br />„ m <br />~ e <br />g <br />~ <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />0-399 feet <br />0-529 feet <br />2 <br />400 - 899 feet <br />530 - 1199 feet <br />3 <br />900-1,399 feet <br />1200 - 1859 feet <br />4 <br />1,400-1,899 feet <br />1860 - 2525 feet <br />Source: Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Manual <br />Notes: <br />1 For each 500 feet above 1899 feet, one additional driveway is permitted. <br />2 For each 665 feet above 2525 feet, one additional driveway is permitted. <br />S:\98288\WPCltina1 rcrxirt 2-OLckx 41 B WR <br />
