LAC 70:II.531. Driveway Permits

A. Guidelines. Driveway permits are required in order to assure safe and orderly movement for vehicular traffic entering and leaving the highway; to abolish hazardous and indiscriminate parking adjacent to the roadway surface; to preserve adequate sight distances at intersections; to encourage beautification of property frontage and to insure uniform design and construction of driveways on highway right-of-way. The DOTD’s authority to require permits for driveways is set forth in R.S. 48:344. All rules governing the installation of driveways are now located at LAC 70:I.Chapter 15, Access Connection Permits.
