Characteristics | Access control in Urban Roads | Access control in Rural Roads |
Intersection spacing | Intersection
spacing is different for different types of roads (like 1000 m for
expressways, 500 m for arterial road, 300 m for sub-arterial road, 150 m for
collector street). | Intersection
spacing is nearly similar for all public roads with 750 m. |
Access driveway | Direct
access to residential property is restricted for expressway and arterial
roads. Indirect access is permitted for sub-arterial roads. However, it is permissible from collector streets with limitations and free for local roads.
| Private
property like petrol pumps, industry should not be spaced less than 300 m
apart. If a number of properties are present near a highway with close proximity to each other, grouping is suggested to connect them with the highway
at a selected access point. |
Median opening | Mostly
present at intersection. Apart from this location, a median opening is provided, confirming the presence of a storage lane for right-turning vehicles. | The median opening is provided at an interval of 2 km (and 5 km for the expressway) if the
spacing between intersections is high. |
