Overview

Municipalities, upon request, may use their own access management guidelines to determine appropriate access connection locations. Local access management guidelines will then apply to all or part, as stated in the guidelines, of the state highway system within that municipal jurisdiction, except where the Department controls the access. The local access management guidelines or plans should be based on sound engineering practices and accepted access management principles. There are two approaches for municipalities to apply their local access management plans or guidelines to state highways within that municipal jurisdiction.
