Access Permits

Types of Permits

•Commercial/Industrial/Residential Subdivision “Access Permit” This type of permit covers:

•Entrances for commercial or industrial site access (new or modified)•Public or private street connections for subdivision access (new or modified)•Off-site MDOT SHA improvements by developers, where mandated by the local jurisdiction (in connection with development approval) or by MDOT SHA•Local government (county or municipal) road improvement projects on State right of way, when related to land use/development approval or when resulting in a new highway intersection•Highway rehabilitation/streetscape improvements that involve work in the travel lanes of the State highway•Temporary construction access for the above

This permit process is closely tied to the local government’s planning and zoning/development review. As a developer you must begin obtaining local development approval prior to submitting any requests to MDOT SHA Access Management. The local planning and zoning office will forward your submittals to MDOT SHA for our review.

1.2 Sight Distance StandardsAll points of access shall adhere to the safety criteria for acceptable intersection and stopping sight distance in accordance with current Administration standards and engineering practices. Sight distance shall be measured and evaluated for each proposed point of state highway access in accordance with the State’s adopted version of AASHTO’s A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets. Applicants are strongly advised that sight distance should be evaluated for each desired point of access prior to seeking preliminary subdivision or site plan approval from the local approving authority. MDOT SHA cannot recommend action on a filing that involves access to a state highway until adequate sight distance is demonstrated. In no instance will prior subdivision or site plan approval by the local authority relieve the applicant from having to meet the State's sight distance requirements.

1.3 Number of Access PointsOn uncontrolled highways, the number of access points for subdivision or site access shall conform to either the following guidelines or those outlined in Chapter 2, whichever are more restrictive. MDOT SHA may consider exceptions based on unusual site usage, site constraints, future development, or traffic patterns. In the discussion below, “access” refers exclusively to state highway access points and “frontage” refers exclusively to state highway frontage.

1.3.2.B. Access Available to Other Public Road(s) – When access is available to one or more other public roads, the applicant shall preferentially direct access to the lower functioning public road unless direct access to a state highway would support the master-planned transportation infrastructure, provide a regional transportation benefit, or have demonstrated safety and/or operational merit. In accordance with the Annotated Code of Maryland §8–625, the Administration may deny an abutting property owner all new access along any primary state highway if reasonable access to another public road is available to and from the property.

Article - Transportation§8–625.

(a) For purposes of this section, average daily traffic volume shall be determined over a 1-year period by the procedures that the Administration uses to establish traffic density.

(b) (1) Except in accordance with a permit issued by the Administration, a person may not make any entrance from any commercial or industrial property to any State highway that carries an average traffic volume of more than 2,000 vehicles a day.

(2) The Administration may apply to the circuit court in the subdivision in which the violation occurred or is threatened for appropriate injunctive relief.

(c) (1) To promote highway safety, the Administration may limit the width of existing entrances and exits and determine the locations of access points that may be used by any commercial or industrial property owner or user into any existing section of a State highway that carries an average traffic volume of more than 2,000 vehicles a day.

Article - Transportation§8–625. (Continued)

(2) If the Administration finds it expedient for traffic safety, the Administration may:

(i) Limit the width and location of access points by any method that it considers desirable; and

(ii) Deny an abutting property owner all new access along any primary State highway if reasonable access to another public road is available to and from the property.

(3) Denial of access under paragraph (2)(ii) of this subsection is an exercise of the police power and does not require the payment of compensation.

(d) (1) This subsection does not apply to an expressway, freeway, interstate highway, or parkway.

(2) Notwithstanding subsection (c)(2)(ii) of this section, the Administration may not deny an owner of property abutting a State highway all access to the highway if the abutment is within the boundaries of a municipal corporation unless:

(i) The property abuts another public road to which reasonable access can be granted;

(ii) The denial is based on an access management plan that has been agreed to by the Administration and the municipal corporation; or

(iii) The Administration pays just compensation to the property owner as part of the exercise of eminent domain powers.

Residential Permits

Home > Business > Permits & Utilities > Access Management/Permits > Guidelines for Residential Entrances to State Highways > INTRODUCTION

Guidelines for Residential Entrances to State Highways –

INTRODUCTION

Our goal is to provide the maximum protection to the motoring public through the orderly control of traffic movement to and from the State Highway system. Permits are required for all driveways to assure that entrances to State Highways are made in a safe manner.

Anyone accessing a State Highway from a residential property is required to obtain a residential entrance permit from the SHA. The SHA must approve the location, design geometries, drainage requirements, and paving cross section of a residential entrance on a State Highway.

Application for a permit should be made to the local SHA office.

Depending on the county, the application may be made to either the District Engineer, the Resident Maintenance Engineer or the Permit Inspector. The District Engineer is responsible for any construction, maintenance or other activity within his assigned counties. He is charged with ensuring the safety of the traveling public, in part, by allowing only the safest possible access points onto State highways. The Resident Maintenance Engineer is an agent of the District Engineer who, in addition to supervising the road maintenance activities in his area, accepts and processes applications for residential driveway access.

In general, the Residential Permit application procedure is as follows:

1) Upon receiving a completed application package, the District Engineer's representative will investigate the proposed driveway location and determine its acceptability based on:

sight distance, overall safety, drainage,other factors.

2) After determining the best location, the District Engineer (DE) will issue a residential driveway permit to the homeowner for construction of the driveway at that location.

3) The permittee is responsible for all construction related to the driveway, including any utility relocations made necessary by the driveway construction.

4) 48 hours prior to beginning work, the permittee must notify SHA and Miss Utility. 5) When construction is completed, the DE will be release the performance surety. Note: These regulations apply only to residential entrances serving one to five homes. Anything else is

subject to an Access Permit.

Access Breaks

GENERAL

The SHA maintains controls of access along many roadways throughout the state. The SHA right of way plats indicate these controls of access by the notations such as "Right of Way Line of Through Highway" or other similar reference to denial of access. A request for a change in the status of existing SHA controls of access is a step that is not taken lightly since these controls assist SHA in maintaining a safe and efficient highway system. The request essentially would require a break in the SHA access controls which are considered a property right.

The SHA considers requests from a variety of sources and perspectives. First, it is important to understand that the State acquired the right to control access in order to limit the number of entrances onto a roadway and thereby improve traffic safety and operations. Second, the acquisition of this right was generally made with public funds. The decision to give up these rights must therefore account for the impact on traffic safety and operations as well as ensure that the State receives the fair market value of these rights in exchange for their release. To ensure that each of these concerns is adequately addressed, the SHA has a process to review requests.

PROCESS: The SHA considers requests for a break in access controls using the following steps. Each location and situation is considered on its own merits:

1) Conducting a technical review and evaluation. This step addresses such issues as: safety and operational concerns; accident data; roadway capacity; level of service; stopping and intersection sight distances; plans for future roadway improvements; and other design criteria. The cost of alternate access, reasons why alternate access may not be possible, and the legality of any denial of alternate access are also considered. This technical review and evaluation, in which several SHA offices participate, takes approximately 45 days. The property owner is notified of the results and of any conditions that must occur before a break in access could be allowed.

2) Obtaining the Administrator’s concurrence of the break in access controls. If the property owner agrees with the terms and conditions of the break in access controls, this step involves obtaining the Administrator’s concurrence of the concept. The concept of the access break location and relevant details (from the technical evaluation) are presented to the Administrator for concurrence that the access break is acceptable and subject to the Board of Public Works (BPW) approval and payment by the property owner.

37

38

39

03/27/2019

3) Placing a value on the break in access controls. This step is pursued only if the results of the previous step support the request for an access break. Value is based on an appraisal of the property and other relevant factors. Performance of the appraisal, for which the property owner must pay in advance, takes approximately 75 to 90 days.

4) Obtaining the approval of the Board of Public Works (BPW). This step is pursued only if the property owners and SHA agree on the value of the break in access controls. It takes approximately 60 to 90 days. Of course, there is no guarantee that the BPW will approve the request.

5) Finalizing the transaction. This step is pursued only if the BPW approves of the State’s release of the specified rights to control access. The terms of all paperwork, and the amount of compensation paid by the property owners, must comply with the terms approved by the BPW. Payment of this compensation must be made before the State will release its rights to control access.
