Draft 09-09-2013 2 |Page Access Management Criteria – A Guide to Interpreting and Implementing the Eno EDD Access Management Map Through the following criteria the Eno EDD – Access Management Concept Map supports transportation and land use objectives articulated in adopted plans: 1.Restrict access where possible from the functional area of intersections and the I-85/US 70 interchange. 2.Control turning movements at entrances: a.Where recommended by a traffic study, right-in/right-out entrance design prevents left ingress and egress turning movements. b.Limit access to a defined point of ingress and egress through the development of an entrance that prevent vehicles from backing up on to the highway and enhances on-site circulation. 3.Space intersections and driveway access points to plan for reduced traffic conflict points as traffic congestion increases: a.Align major intersections. b.Align minor entrances with positive offset(s) to increase safety. c.Provide a limited number of strategically located median crossovers on US 70. d.Add exclusive turn lanes where required by NCDOT. 4.Provide adequate separation between traffic signals to expand road’s traffic capacity and simplify signal synchronization. [Note: the Access Management Concept Map depicts existing signalized (and unsignalized) intersections. As development progresses, some unsignalized intersections may be required to be signalized by the NCDOT.] 5.Where feasible along arterials and collectors, share joint entrance(s) with adjoining property owner(s) through the recordation of joint access easements with maintenance provisions with adjoining property owner(s). 6.Where feasible along arterials, provide vehicular and pedestrian connections between adjoining properties through the recordation of access easement(s) with maintenance provisions, and construct connection(s) to the boundary with adjoining undeveloped parcel(s). 7.As properties develop, establish connectivity between the US 70 Frontage Road and future non-residential development to the south. 8.Provide frontage roads with non-residential development/redevelopment to increase safety on arterials and collector roads, and promote non-residential development for economic benefit. 9.Provide an interconnected street network in the Study Area as generally indicated on the map. 10. Provide an interior access network from identified primary access points along arterial and collector roads. 11. There shall be no access by non-residential development through the 10-year Transition Area until the area commences a transition in urban densities and/or intensities that are suitable for higher densities and/or intensities. 12. Accommodate transit, bicyclists and pedestrians on roadways in the Study Area. 13. Limit perennial stream crossings, and impacts to wetlands and steep topographical areas. 41
