Section 16:47-5.2 - Trip limitations for nonconforming lots or sites
Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 16:47-5.2
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024
(a) A nonconforming lot or site is subject to maximum trip limitations that shall not be exceeded and shall be made a condition of the access permit issued for that lot or site. On lots or sites with access to both State highways and streets, maximum trip limitations only apply to the State highway access.
(b) Maximum trip limitations shall be determined as follows:
1. The abbreviations
and meaning of the variables used in the formulas below are as follows:
i. S -- Spacing distance, based on the posted
speed limit and
N.J.A.C.
16:47-5.1(f).
ii. L -- Left distance between the lot or
site centerline and either the centerline of the next adjacent non-single
family residential lot, or the centerline of the street, ramp, or nearest
jughandle roadway opening as applicable, the centerline of the adjacent
intersecting street roadway opening for a corner lot, or one-half of the State
highway frontage plus one-half of the intersecting street frontage for a corner
lot with access to the intersecting street. The maximum distance for L cannot
exceed S.
iii. R -- Right distance
measured the same as L above. The maximum distance for R cannot exceed
S.
iv. A -- Area of the lot or site
expressed in acres, but no greater than 3.0 on an urban State highway and 2.0
on a rural State highway.
v. V --
Maximum peak hour trips (total to and from the lot or site).
2. For lots or sites on an urban
State highway, the highest A.M., P.M., or weekend maximum peak hour trips for
the driveway between a State highway and a lot or site shall be determined
using the following formula:
V = 50 + [(L + R)<2> / (2 x S)<2>] x A x 100
L[max] = S
R[max] = S
A[max] = 3.0
3. For lots or sites on a rural State
highway, the highest A.M., P.M., or weekend maximum peak hour trips for the
driveway between a State highway and a lot or site shall be determined using
the following formula:
V = 50 + [(L + R)<2> / (2 x S)<2>] x A x 70
L[max] = S
R[max] = S
A[max] = 2.
4. The maximum peak hour trips (V) will be
increased by 15 percent (V = 1.15) if a lot or site has features in (b)4i
below. No increase in the maximum trip limitations shall be given to any lot
created by the subdivision of a nonconforming lot.
i. Access to a street other than the State
highway. Driveways on municipal or county streets that are under Department
jurisdiction but are not numbered State highways will be considered as
non-State highway access for the purpose of calculating a maximum peak hour
trip bonus described above. The non- State highway access does not have to be
to an intersecting side street to be given this bonus.
