24VAC30-73-60. General provisions governing entrances.

A. No entrance of any nature may be constructed within the right-of-way until the location has been approved by VDOT and an entrance permit has been issued. VDOT may take any action within the right-of-way to block, obstruct, or remove an unpermitted entrance and may initiate civil action for damages, injunction, or other appropriate remedy.

B. VDOT will permit reasonably convenient access to a parcel of record. VDOT is not obligated to permit the most convenient access, nor is VDOT obligated to approve the permit applicant's preferred entrance location or entrance design. If a parcel is served by more than one road in the systems of state highways, the district administrator's designee shall determine upon which road the proposed entrance is to be constructed.

C. Entrance standards established by localities that are stricter than those of VDOT shall govern.
