OAR 734-051-4010
Access Management Standards for Approaches — General Provisions

(1)

Applicability. Access management standards for approaches to state highways:

(a)

Are based on the classification of the highway and highway designation, type of area, and posted speed;

(b)

Apply to properties abutting state highways and planning processes involving state highways, and other projects as determined by the region manager;

(c)

Do not apply to legal approaches in existence prior to January 1, 2012, except for those private approaches subject to the change of use provisions, pursuant to OAR 734-051-3020 (Change of Use of a Private Connection);

(d)

Are intended to facilitate infill development and redevelopment, as applicable, with the goal of meeting or improving compliance with the access management spacing standards; and

(e)

Are further intended to facilitate highway and interchange construction or modernization projects, or other roadway or interchange projects as determined by the region manager, with the goal of meeting or improving compliance with the access management spacing standards.

(2)

Standards for Private Approaches. The access management standards are based on approach spacing distance, sight distance, the presence of channelization, and safety and operations considerations. OAR 734-051-4020 (Standards and Criteria for Approval of Private Approaches) contains the access management standards applicable to private approaches.

(3)

Access Management Standards for Infill and Redevelopment. The region access management engineer may apply the ‘urban’ access management spacing standards of OAR 734-051-4020 (Standards and Criteria for Approval of Private Approaches) to infill or redevelopment projects in a rural area on commercial or industrial zoned land where the land has been developed into an urban block pattern including a local street network, and the posted highway speed is at or below 45 miles per hour.

(4)

Special Transportation Area (STA) Designations. Where the Oregon Transportation Commission has designated a Special Transportation Area (STA) in the Oregon Highway Plan, the spacing standards for such highway designation will be applied to the application.

(5)

Deviations. Deviations from the access management standards must meet the criteria in OAR 734-051-3050 (Deviations from Approach Spacing, Sight Distance, and Channelization Standards for a Private Approach).

(6)

Traffic Signals. Location of traffic signals on state highways must meet the criteria of OAR 734-020-0400 (Traffic Signal Approval Process) through 734-020-0500 (Removal of Traffic Signals).
