-6- ,• No entrance or exit driveway shall be constructed or maintained so as to lead to or from a local residential street abutting a local business district. The words "local residential street" shall mean a street used primarily for access to abutting residential properties. The angle of intersection between the driveway and the street shall be between 70 degrees and 90 degrees. The developments abutting idilson Mills Road for a distance of 1200 feet from the nearest intersection of a freeway ramp shall be planned so that the first access street or driveway onto Wilson Mills shall be not less than 600 feet from the outermost ramp terminal right-of-way and the successive access point shall be spaced at intervals not less than 600 feet on center. These objec- tives may be accomplished by marginal service roads, parallel service roads, combining the access of several developments, or their approved facilities. Whenever it is not feasible to provide such facilities at the time of the original development, the Coffiission may grant temporary access for use at lesser distancas for a limited period of time, provided the developments and future control facilities are planned so as not to cause any substantial extra costs to the public or cause relocations or structures when the per- manent facilities are constructed. To carry out the above purposes and objectives on sections of Wilson Mills Road or other major streets within the area of influence but more than 1200 feet from the interchange, the Commission may permit the spacing of access- ways at lesser intervals but not less than 200 feet on center, if the projected volume of traffic warrants more frequent spacing.
