Current through August 31, 2024
Section 37-1-8101-00001-300

Partially controlled access highways or sections thereof vary in degree of control according to the traffic problems present or anticipated. They are defined as follows:

A. Highways or sections thereof designated by the Commission as TYPE 2A may have frontage roads - constructed on one or both sides of the highway or rights of way may be or have been provided for future construction of frontage roads on one or both sides of the highway. Until such frontage road or roads are constructed, vehicular access from abutting property directly to and from the traffic lanes may be permitted in the same manner as for conventional highways unless the right of access was purchased with the right of way. Upon construction of the frontage road or roads, vehicular access from abutting property may be permitted into the frontage road only and then is brought into the through traffic lanes over intersecting streets and highways or over approved connections of the frontage road with the through traffic lanes. The rights of way of TYPE 2A highways may be used for the construction and maintenance of utility lines and other approved installations in accordance with the Department's Standard Operating Procedures.
B. On highways or sections thereof designated by the Commission as TYPE 2B vehicular travel from and to through traffic lanes is permitted only at established entrances and exits. The abutter's access rights between such entrances and exits has been or is to be purchased with the rights of way. Rights of way purchased so as to deny access from abutting property may be used for the construction and maintenance of utility lines; however, such construction and maintenance must be accomplished without vehicular travel from and to the traffic lanes or ramps and comply with the Department's Standard Operating Procedures.
