(6) Public Entranceway - a public entranceway is an entrance opening onto a Township Road from a public road, street or highway or other thoroughfare maintained by a municipality or other authority. RESTRICTIONS 3.--(1) A permit is required for each type or change in classification of entrance onto a Township Road. (2) The design and construction of a public entranceway to a Township Road from a township, city, town or village street, or from a registered subdivision is subject to the approval of the Township Superintendent. (3) A municipality or other local authority or the owner of a subdivision planning to construct a public entrance from a subdivision to a Township Road must obtain an entrance permit plus complete an Agreement for Permission to Excavate a Township Road from the Township before work commences within the limits of the right-of-way of a Township Road on the entrance or any works related thereto. A plan and profile of the proposed roadway is required.

MINIMUM VISIBILITY REQUIREMENTS 6. Residential/Farm Entranceways (a) For newly created lots the minimum residential sight distance is 120m in each direction in urban sections of the highway (posted speed is less than 70 km/h) and 180m in each direction in rural sections of the highway (posted speed of 70 km/h and more). (b) For existing lots of record residential/farm entrances could be considered with reduced sight distances if no alternative access is available. Such lots must have a minimum sight distance of 90m in each direction. 7. Commercial Entranceways (a) All new commercial entrances must meet all of the following requirements: POSTED SPEED DESIGN SPEED SIGHT DISTANCE HORIZONTAL CURVE HIGHWAY GRADE HIGHWAY GRADE km/h km/h metres (feet) 40 60 140 (465) 300m radius or more 6% or less 6% or less 50 70 160 (530) 300m radius or more 6% or less 6% or less 60 80 180 (600) 600m radius or more 5% or less 5% or less 70 90 200 (660) 600m radius or more 5% or less 5% or less 80 100 230 (760) 1200m radius or more 4% or less 4% or less 90 110 250 (825) 1200m radius or more 4% or less 4% or less 100 120 270 (890) 1200m radius or more 4% or less 4% or less Source: Based on the Provincial Ministry of Transportation Commercial Site Access Manual The Township of South Frontenac Page 44 of 56 THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF SOUTH FRONTENAC NOTES: (1) The safety requirements are based on the design speed. The posted speed is provided for convenience only and is set at 20km below the design speed to reflect the usual practice. However, in certain circumstances (such as rugged terrain) the difference may be lower and the posted speed may even be the same as the design speed. therefore, the design speed should be verified with the Township. (2) Major traffic generators and public road intersections must be reviewed by the Township and are subject to the standards of the latest M.T.O. Geometric Design Manual. This table does not apply to them. (3) In reduced speed zones, such as urban areas, where the legislated posted speed is significantly lower than the design speed, it may be unreasonable to apply the visibility requirements based on the design speed. Therefore, where the Township is satisfied that the proposed access will be safe, consideration may be given to applying the posted speed requirements. (4) In measuring the sight distance, the following standards are used. a) The drivers' eye level is defined as 1.05m (3.5 ft.) above ground. b) Height of object (representing the roof of a vehicle) is defined as 1.3m (4.25 ft.) above the highway. c) For vehicles entering the highway, visibility is measured from the driver's eye level, at a point set back 3m from the edge of pavement of the through lane, in both directions. d) On a two-lane undivided highway, visibility must be measured for both directions. For a fully divided highway, visibility should be measured for the approach direction.

(b) A residential entranceway in an area where the speed limit is 80 km/hr (50 miles/hr) or more must be located at least 30 metres (100 feet) from the end of the deck of the bridge or from the nearest part of the structure which actually interferes with the clear vision of traffic using that entrance.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS 5.--(1) The minimum top width of a residential entranceway where a culvert is required shall be 5 metres (16 feet) measured at the culvert centre.
