Rule 14-97 FAC (access classifications 1–7 → connection/median/signal spacing standards) + Rule 14-96 (connection permitting) + the Access Management Guidebook, Driveway Information Guide, and Median Handbook.
Why: driveway/median decisions on state roads are rule-driven, not judgment calls; TIA site-access sections live or die here.
When:
- connection permits
- driveway spacing checks
- median opening requests
- corner clearance
Example questions:
- min connection spacing for Class 5 @ 45 mph?
- full vs directional median opening spacing?
- what triggers a deviation?
Spawn:
- access-class spacing table note (one page, memorize)
- connection permit process note
