Section 7: Visibility

Drivers must be able to locate a driveway in time to reduce speed and negotiate the entry maneuver. Lighting can be used to alert drivers to driveway opening locations a considerable distance in advance by illuminating the junction of the driveway and the highway. On curbed facilities, the use of vegetation buffers between the back of curb and sidewalk can help define driveway edges and make the driveway location more discernible for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

On divided driveways, signing should be located within the divider separating the entrance and exit sides of the driveway and must take into consideration the sight distance for vehicles entering and exiting the driveway and cyclists and pedestrians crossing the driveway. Private signs and lighting are prohibited on state right of way.
