Roadway Improvements:
The plan submitted to New Hanover County shows a right turn lane (extension) into the
site while the plans submitted to NCDOT show a standard driveway connection within
the merge taper.
• One of the plans sets should be revised/removed.
Site Plan Comments:
Drainage/Stormwater Conveyance:
• If the drainage does not naturally flow to the NCDOT right of way the historic
drainage pattern should be maintained.
NCDOT Standard Drawings:
• Include/update the NCDOT Standard Drawings (2024) that are applicable to the
development.
Sight Triangles and Sight Distance:
• Show and label the 10’ X 70’ NCDOT sight triangles.
o No obstructions shall be placed within the NCDOT sight triangles.
• Show and label the stopping sight distance.
o No obstructions shall be placed within the stopping sight distance.
Identification Signing and Landscaping:
• Identification signing or landscape vegetation within the median and the sight
distance triangle must not obstruct the driver’s line of sight. No landscaping or
signing will be allowed to exceed 42 inches in height, measured from the Edge of
Pavement (EOP) within the median or sight triangle.
• All pylon signs in the median or sight distance triangle must provide a vertical
clear sight zone between 3 feet-6 inches and 10 feet-0 inches measured from the
EOP. Signing located within a clear recovery area shall be of a “breakaway
design.”
• Only low growing shrubbery, consistent with the NCDOT’s landscaping policies,
as contained in the publication “Guidelines for Planting Within Highway Right of
Way,” will be allowed within a landscaped median and the sight distance triangle
at the entranceway to a development, whether the street or driveway connection to
the State Highway System is designated as a public facility or not. Landscaping
within the right-of-way and sight distance triangles may require additional
approval by the District Engineer.

This development is located within a future STIP. With that in mind, any access that
conflicts with the planned transportation infrastructure may be modified and/or removed

Driveway Application Process and Site Plan Requirements
ALL APPLICATIONS SHALL BE ACCOMPANIED BY COMPLETE AND DETAILED SITE PLANS THAT ADHERE TO THE POLICIES LISTED IN THE POLICY ON STREET AND
DRIVEWAY ACCESS TO NORTH CAROLINA HIGHWAYS AND THIS DOCUMENT. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THESE POLICIES WILL RESULT IN THE RETURN OF THE
APPLICATION TO THE APPLICANT FOR REVISION.
***THE NCDOT WILL NOT BEGIN THE REVIEW PROCESS ON INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS***
Electronic Pre-Submittals
In an effort to save time and resources, we are happy to provide an initial assessment of a driveway permit submittal’s plans via email to
identify any major issues up front. This initial assessment can be followed up with a submittal of one digital copy of the plans along with all
other required documents.
All Permit applications shall be submitted through the online portal https://connect.ncdot.gov/site/Permits/Pages/default.aspx
In the notify email section of the portal application please include the District Office email (Div3Dist3@ncdot.gov). See the last pages for further instruction.

Engineering Studies
The applicant may be required by the District Engineer to submit studies based on, but not limited to, the parameters outlined
herein. If study requirements of the local government agency are more restrictive than the NCDOT requirements, then local
government requirements will govern. However, this does not imply that the NCDOT is obligated to approve entrance designs
that are too constrictive to allow smooth and safe traffic flow. All studies including, but not limited to, Traffic Impact Analyses
(TIA), traffic signal studies, and drainage studies, must be prepared under the direct charge of and sealed by a North Carolina
licensed Professional Engineer.
