2. General Rules Volume Two 2.32.4.10. A standard vehicle crossing must be provided to a property capable of containing no more than four dwellings. A heavy duty vehicle crossing must be provided for all other properties. 2.32.4.11. A rural vehicle crossing must be constructed to an all-weather standard, to the same standard as the adjoining road. In urban areas any vehicle crossing must be constructed in permanent materials, consistent with the standard in the immediate locality. Distances of a Vehicle Crossing From an Intersection 2.32.4.12. No part of a vehicle crossing must be located closer, on either side of the road to the intersection of any roads, than the minimum distance specified in Table 2.8. Table 2.8: Intersecting Road Type Frontage Road Urban (all roads other than Rural) Rural (roads where speed limit is (as identified in 100k/hr) Appendix 17) Primary Secondary Collector Local & Primary Secondary Collector Local & Arterial Arterial Service Arterial Arterial Service Primary Arterial 70m 55m 40m 35m 275m 275m 180m 180m & National Secondary 55m 55m 40m 35m 180m 180m 90m 90m Arterial Collector 40m 40m 40m 20m 90m 90m 60m 60m Local & Service 25m 25m 25m 20m 90m 90m 60m 60m Roads 2.32.4.13. The distance must be measured from the point at which the legal boundary lines of the two road frontages intersect. Distance Between Vehicle Crossings 2.32.4.14. On a national or arterial road (as identified in Appendix 17) where the speed limit is 100km/hr, the minimum distance between successive vehicle crossings (regardless of the side of the road on which they are located) must not be less than 200m. Provided that two vehicle crossings may adjoin one another with a maximum separation of 4m. 2.32.4.15. On a collector route or a local road (as identified in Appendix 17) where the legal speed limit is 100km/hr, the minimum distance between successive vehicle crossings (regardless of the side of the road on which they are located) must not be less than 60m. Provided that two vehicle crossings may adjoin one another with a maximum separation of 4m. 2.32.4.16. On a road where the speed limit is less than 100km/hr, the minimum spacing between successive vehicle crossings (either single or combined) on the same side of the road, must not be less than 15m, with the exception of vehicle crossings which serve dwellings in which case it must not be less than 7.5m. 2.32.4.17. The separation distance must be measured from the centre of one vehicle crossing to the centre of the succeeding vehicle crossing, parallel to the centreline of the road. 2 – 48
