§ 419-15. Roadway access control.  


Latest version.
  • By enforcing standards on access points to public and private property, the following guidelines establish levels of access control based on the functional classification of the Village roadways. The functional classification accounts for use levels, potential conflicts, urban and rural landscapes, amongst other elements. In general, it is intended to separate access points from each other as much as possible. These are considered to be minimum guidelines. Consideration may be given to locations where site-specific restrictions, both environmental and built, may limit compliance with these standards. The access should serve as many parcels as possible to reduce the demand for additional public roadways and for additional direct access to Village roadways. The separation of access points is measured from the center line of the approach.
    A. 
    Principal arterial roadway. The Village identifies arterial roadways as interstate, freeways, or expressways. Access is regulated on these roadways by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Commission.
    B. 
    Minor arterial roadway. All intersecting public roadways and other direct access to minor arterial Village roadways shall be separated by a minimum of 1,500 feet.
    C. 
    Collector roadway. All intersecting public roadways and other direct access to minor collector roadways shall be separated by a minimum of 750 feet.
    D. 
    Local urban access roadway. All intersecting public roadways and other direct access to any local urban access roadway shall be separated by a minimum of 350 feet.
    E. 
    Local rural access roadway. All intersecting public roadways and other direct access to any local rural roadway shall be separated by a minimum of 750 feet.
