State Right-Of-Way Regulations
Explained By Chairman Graham
RALEIGH ? Highway Chair
man A H. Graham has called
on all property owners who
plan to build service stations,
drive-ins, motels and other
commercial establishments ad
joining State highways to first
familiarize themselves with the
commission's regulation on
driveway entrances to highways.
He said some misunderstand
ing had existed in the past and
that some property owners were
not aware of the commission's
entrance regulations. As a safe
ty measure and to protect the
motorist, the commission adopt
ed in 1951 minimum standards
for entrances to highways. The
commission's 20-page booklet,
"Minimum Standards for En
trances to Highways" is avail
able upon request from Robert
Burch, Traffic Engineer, State
Highway Commission, Raleigh,
and from any of the commis
: sion's highway offices through
out the State The booklet clear
! 1 y states the commission's re
quirements for entrances from
service or commercial businesses
to the highway. Inside the
booklet are 11 easily-understood
sketches dealing with the prop
er location of service stations
or commercial establishments
adjoining a main-line highway.
Mr. Graham explained that
any property-owner desiring to
construct a driveway or drive
ways connecting with any state
highway must first secure and
fill out an application for a
driveway permit. These applica
tion forms can be secured from
the state highway maintenance
supervisors who are located in
each county, or from resident
engineers, or from district or
division highway offices. An ap
plication for a driveway permit
must be submitted to the dis
trict engineer for his written
approval.
The booklet, "Minimum Stan
dards for Entrances to High
j ways" says: "Any driveway or
| approach constructed by a prop
j e.rty-owner must be for the
bona fide purpose of securing
j access to his property and not
] for the purpose of parking or
; servicing vehicles' on the high
( way right of way."
Later, "The construction of
| parking areas on the highway
right of way is specifically pro
hibited Those places of busi
ness requiring parking space far
their customers shall provide
same on their premises."
And, 'All "^trances and exits
shall be so located that vehicles
approaching or using them will
be able to obtain adequate sight
distance in both directions along
the highway in order to maneu
ver safely and without interfer
ing with traffic."
At the same time, Mr. Gra
ham said that the commission's
engineers throughout the state
were being instructed to watch
closely for indications of prop
erty-owners building commer
cial establishments too close to
the state's highways. To incon
venience the builder as little as
possible, the engineers are striv- ;
ing to contact and acquaint the j
property-owners with the com
mission's specific driveway reg- J
ulations.
Where gasoline pumps are lo- j
cated immediately adjacent to
the highway's right of way line,
It is not permissible for the
owner to pave a service lane J
within the right of way and
putr.p gas into cars which are
parsed in this area. This means
that a service station owner j
must place his pump fully 12
feet back of the highway right ;
of way line if he plans to serv
ice cars between his pumps and
the highway: nor shall other
establishments use the highway i
right of way for parking ve- j
hides
Should the property-owner in- 1
sist on constructing his drive- J
v.'a- so that cars will be serv- j
iped on the highway's ri^ht of .
way. Mr Graham warned that;
the owner can be restrained j
f.rotrt doing so by court order, i
The owner will be notified first .
that he will be restrained and
that shciuid be persist in con
stricting the drive before the
restraining order is served, the
commission may then place
posts or other obstructions on
that part of the driveway which
is used for servicing, loading or
unloading vehicles on the high
way right of way so that it
cannot be used.
Mr. Graham emphasized that
ornamental posts, advertising
signs, and walls for entrances
may not be placed under any
condition on the highway right
of way.
On the construction or reloca
tion of highway, an adjoining
property-owner may erect tem
porary wire fences to permit
his stock to graze provided the
fences do not interfere with use
of the right of way for high
way purposes. To be on the sate
side, these temporary fences
should be erected not closer
than five feet to the outside of
construction lines.
Mr. Graham concluded: "If
you plan to build a service sta
tion, a store, a restaurant, a
m?tor court or a private home
adjoining a state highway, first
see your district engineer to
get a driveway permit. Acquaint
yourself with the Commission's
established driveway regula
tions. It'll save you a lot of
headaches to comply with these
regulations from the start."
