<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Corner clearance represents the distance between the corner of the intersection of two public roadways and the next private driveway. It is important to provide enough distance between the corner and the first driveway to effectively separate conflict points and allow drivers enough time to make safe maneuvers. When corners are not adequately cleared, crash rates and delay increase. These guidelines correspond to the driveway spacing guidelines for the same roadway classification. However, maintaining adequate corner clearance is more critical for safety and operations than mid-block driveway spacing. This guideline only applies where the sight distance guideline allows.<br />
