Access control on intersecting highway.

(1)

On a dual-lane highway, there shall be no access within 1,000 feet of the most remote end of any ramp taper.

(2)

On other intersecting highways, there shall be no access within 700 feet of the most remote end of taper.

(3)

There shall be no access point closer than 700 feet to another access point.

(4)

Access points on opposite sides of the highway shall be directly opposite each other or opposite a median crossover or separated by at least 300 feet of lateral distance.
