Universal Citation: CT Reg of State Agencies 13b-17-14
Current through September 9, 2024

All permits for the construction or reconstruction of state highways, roads or streets crossing or intersecting State highways must be requested by the property owner, developer or a municipal official responsible for public works, and a surety bond must be filed with the District Maintenance Manager by the responsible applicant.

The required number of sets of plans and profiles shall be produced by the applicant for all proposed roads or streets, in sufficient extent and detail determined by the district maintenance manager. This information shall be used by the State in determining stipulations to be included in the permit to be issued. All streets constructed to intersect a State highway must be surfaced with bituminous concrete or other material acceptable to the District Maintenance Manager for the entire area graded toward the State highway. The side slopes draining to these streets shall be stabilized to prevent erosion.

Intersections shall be designed and constructed to meet the existing gutter grade of the State highway unless specified otherwise by the District Maintenance Manager. Traffic signals shall conform with the traffic signal guidelines in the Manual On Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Grades and drainage installations shall conform with the requirements of Department policy. Sight distances shall conform to the Department's geometric design standards. Width of road or street and the radii of intersection flares shall be adequate to permit turning by an entering or exiting WB50 design vehicle without encroachment on an opposing directional lane of the State highway or the intersecting road or street unless otherwise directed by the District Maintenance Manager.

The municipal official responsible for public works shall be contacted by the permit applicant to determine the municipalities requirements for acceptance of public streets or roads, if this is a factor in the applicant's plan.
