Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 16:47-12.1 - Purpose and scope

(a) The Department may adopt, as supplements to this chapter, site-specific access management plans (AMPs) for individual segments of a State highway.

(b) The objective of an AMP is to provide a safe and efficient highway system by minimizing the number of driveways and reducing vehicular and pedestrian conflict points. The plan shall include any needed future operational and safety improvements, and should reflect community values and vision and identify the means of access for each lot or site on the State highway segment.

(c) Through the coordination of municipal land use regulation and the Department's control of direct State highway access pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, an AMP shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

1. An access envelope that meets the provisions of this chapter or could be approved as a waiver issued pursuant to N.J.A.C. 16:47-9.9, for each lot or site within the subject State highway segment;

2. The maximum number of driveways within each access envelope that meets the provisions of this chapter or could be approved as a waiver issued pursuant to N.J.A.C. 16:47-9.9;

3. An access envelope for non-State highway driveways, if appropriate, for each lot or site;

4. The maximum number of trips to be generated by each lot or site;

5. All existing and proposed shared driveways and common driveways, indicating existing and proposed easements. A common driveway is a driveway between a State highway and a lot or site used by more than one lot where another driveway between the State highway and the lot or site also exists;

6. Identification and location of future operational and safety improvements;

7. Trip generation thresholds and operational levels that will trigger the need for construction of highway capacity and safety improvements; and

8. A traffic signal location envelope, when appropriate, which identifies the number and general location of traffic signals within the subject State highway segment.
