- 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.
