Driveway Regulation Practices. National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 304. A Synthesis of Highway Practice

摘要

Most state transportation agencies have had some form of driveway regulation for several decades. These programs were developed to regulate construction within the right-of-way of a state highway and addressed issues such as drainage, installation of culverts, and construction of driveways. Applicants were required to obtain a permit for these activities, often called a right-of-way encroachment permit. These early programs addressed driveway location and design to some degree, although most state transportation agencies stopped short of applying their police power for more extensive control of access to state highways.
