1. Driveway Permits. Newly established markets must have an approved commercial driveway permit from the State Highway Department for any site which an application is filed and a copy of such permit shall be submitted with the application for participation.
2. Visibility. No approval will be issued for newly established markets when visibility is obscured by a hill, curve or other obstruction creating a definite traffic hazard.
3. Adequate Parking Space. All markets must maintain adequate parking space for all vehicles to park clear of the highway and highway right-of-way. Where feasible, on heavily traveled highways, parking space should be made available on the opposite side of the highway to minimize hazards and delays caused by left turns.
4. Prohibited Activity on Highways and Highway Right-of-Way. No person connected with a market shall stand, walk or run upon the highway or adjacent shoulders, selling or displaying produce, quoting prices or committing any other act designed to distract attention of drivers from their driving. No such persons will conduct any business with the occupants of an illegally parked vehicle. No market will maintain signs on right-of-way of highways or any signs which are determined by the Highway Department to constitute traffic hazards.
5. Highway Department Approval. Before an application is approved for a newly established market, the site must be approved by the Office of the Highway District Engineer of the district in which such a market is located. It must comply with and remain in compliance with the Rules and Regulations for the control and protection of State Highway Rights-of-Way of the State Highway Department of South Carolina.
