k3 <br />above the travelway to permit the passage of large vehicles <br />under power lines and tree limbs. <br />N. C. Department of Transportation Driveway Permit <br />The property owner is responsible for obtaining the <br />required permit for access to the state maintained road. <br />This permit can be obtained from the DOT in Hillsborough. <br />Permits are normally granted on request. <br />Minimum Curve Radius <br />Curves shall be constructed with a minimum centerline <br />radius of 1251. The right -of -way must be designed with bends <br />that will provide sufficient width to construct the road to <br />this minimum radius. For example, a 90 bend in a 50' right - <br />of -way will not provide enough area to construct a road 18' <br />wide. The right -of -way must include sufficient width for the <br />travelway and the necessary shoulders, ditches and slopes. <br />The drawing below illustrates how a curve with a 125' <br />centerline radius cannot be contained in a 90 bend of a 50' <br />right -of -way. The other drawings illustrate alternative <br />bends that will contain a curve of the minimum centerline <br />radius. <br />underline = proposed text retained <br />bold = TAS /PB revision <br />H <br />
