Driveways, located directly on a rotary should be dis- <br /> couraged since weaving distances are too short and a serious <br /> hazard in the form of rear end and passing accidents could <br /> result. <br /> 2. Drives requested on ramps of grade separations not <br /> controlled by limited access should not be allowed, since en- <br /> tering or exiting vehicles are not'expected, thereby causing <br /> confusion and possible collision. <br /> 1-15 Design of Street Entrances <br /> 1.
