any reason its unrestricted use or continued use by vehicles
or by any class of vehicles will greatly damage that state
highway, county road, or city street, or will be dangerous to
traffic, or it is being constructed, altered, repaired, improved,
or maintained in such a manner as to require that use of the

ate permitting authority which shall have the right to install

continue to provide access to the state highway system,
unless the permitting authority determines that such a
connection does not meet minimum acceptable standards of
highway safety. However, a permitting authority may
require that a permit be obtained for such a connection if a
[Title 47 RCW —page 1301
significant change occurs in the use, design, or traffic flow
of the connection or of the state highway to which it
provides access. If a permit is not obtained, the connection
may be closed pursuant to RCW 47.50.040.
(2) Access permits granted prior to adoption of the

202, Laws of 1991. The permitting authority may, after
written notification, under rules adopted in accordance with
RCW 47.50.030, modify or revoke an access permit granted
prior to adoption of the standards by requiring relocation,
alteration, or closure of the connection if a significant change
occurs, in the use, design, or traffic flow of the connection.
(3).The permitting authority may issue a nonconforming
access, permit after finding that to deny an access permit
would leave the property without a reasonable means of
access to the public roads of this state. Every nonconform-
ing access permit shall specify limits on the maximum
vehicular use of the connection and shall be conditioned on
the availability of,future alternative means of access for
which access permits, can be obtained. [ 1991 c 202 § 8.]

standards to be adhered to in the planning for and approval
of access to state highways.
(3) The control classification system shall be developed
consistent with the following:
(a) The department shall, no later than January 1, 1993,
adopt rules setting forth procedures governing the implemen-
tation of the access control classification system required by
this chapter. The rule shall provide for input from the

public meetings to discuss the access control classification
system. Nothing in this chapter shall affect the validity of
the department's existing or subsequently adopted rules
concerning access to the state highway system. Such rules
shall remain in effect until repealed or replaced by the rules
required by this chapter.
(b) The access control classification system shall be
developed in cooperation with counties, cities and towns, the
*state department of community development, regional
transportation planning organizations, and other local
governmental entities, and for city streets designated as state
highways pursuant to chapter 47.24 RCW, adopted with the
concurrence of the city design standards committee.

47.52.001+ Declaration of policy. Unrestricted access
to and from public highways has resulted in congestion and
peril for the traveler. .• It has caused undue slowing of all
traffic in many areas. The investment of the public in
highway facilities has been impaired and highway facilities
costing vast sums of money will have to be relocated and
reconstructed. It is the declared policy of this state to limit
access to the highway facilities of this state in the interest of
highway'safety and for the preservation of the investment of
the public in such facilities. [ 1961 c 13 § 47.52.001. Prior:
1951 c 167 § 1.]
4752.010 "Limited access facility" defined. For the
purposes of this chapter, a "limited access facility" is defined
as a highway or street especially designed or designated for
through traffic, and over, from, or to which owners or
occupants of abutting land, or other persons, have•no right
or easement, or only a limited right or easement of access,
light, air, or view by reason of the fact that their property
abuts upon such limited access facility, or for any other
reason to accomplish the purpose of a limited access facility.
Such highways or streets may be parkways, from which
vehicles forming part of an urban public transportation
system, trucks, buses, or other commercial vehicles may be
excluded; or they may be freeways open to use by all
customary forms of street and highway traffic, including
vehicles forming .a part of an urban public transportation
system. [1967 c 108 § 10; 1961 c 13 § 47.52.010. Prior:
1951 c 167 § 2; 1947 c 202 § 1; Rem. Supp. 1947 § 6402-
60.]
Urban public transportation system defined: RCW 4704.082.
47.52.011 ','Existing highway" defined. For the
purposes of this chapter, the term "existing highway" shall
include all highways,.roads and streets duly established,
constructed, and in use. It shall not include new highways,

WAC 468.51 -030 General provisions. (1) When
connection permits required. Every ownerof property which
abuts a state highway where limited access rights have not
been acquired has a right to reasonable access, but may `not
have the right to a particular means of access, to the state
highway system. The right of access to the state highway
may be restricted if, pursuant to local regulation, reasonable
access to the state highway can be provided by way of
another - public -road which abuts the property. All new
connections including alterations and improvements to
existing connections to state highways shall require a
connection permit. Such permits, if issued, shall be issued
only after issuance of development approval where such
approval is required, unless other interagency coordination
procedures are in effect. The alteration or closure of any
existing access connection caused by changes to the charac-
ter, intensity of development, or use of the property served
by the connection or the construction of any new access
connection shall not be initiated prior to obtaining a connec-
tion permit from the department. Use of a new connection
at the location specified in the permit is not authorized until
the permittee constructs or modifies the connection in
accordance with the permit requirements. If a property
owner or permittee holding a valid connection permit wishes
to change the character, use, or intensity of the property or
development served by the connection, the department must
be contacted to determine whether a new connection permit
would be required
(2) Responsibility for other approvals. Connection
permits authorize construction improvements to be built by
the permittee on department right of way. It is the responsi-
bility of the applicant or permittee to obtain any other local
permits or other agency approvals that may be required,
including satisfaction of all environmental regulations. It is
also the responsibility of the applicant to acquire any
property rights necessary to provide continuity from the
applicant's property to the state highway right of way if the
applicant's property does not abut the right of way.
(3) Early consultation. In order to expedite the overall
permit review process, the applicant is strongly encouraged
to consult with the department prior to and during the local
government subdivision, rezoning, site plan, or any other
applicable predevelopment review process for which a
connection permit will be required. The purpose of the
consultation shall be to determine the permit category and to
obtain a conceptual review of the development site plan and
proposed access connections to the state highway system
with respect to department connection location, quantity,

ted connections to the state highway system which were in
existence on July 1, 1990, shall not require the issuance of
a permit and may continue to provide connection to the state
highway system, unless the property owner had received
written notification initiating connection closure from the
department prior to July 1, 1990, or unless the department
determines that the unpermitted connection does not meet
minimum acceptable standards of highway safety. The
department may require that a permit be obtained if a
significant change occurs in the use, design, or traffic flow
of the connection or of the state highway to which it
provides access. If a permit is not obtained, the department
may initiate action to close the unpermitted connection point
pursuant to RCW 47.50.040. Any unpermitted connection
opened subsequent to July 1, 1990, is subject to closure by
the department. The process to be followed by the depart-
ment in the closure of an unpermitted connection shall be
consistent with chapter 34.05 RCW and rules adopted
thereunder. The notification process is as follows:
(1) Notification. The department shall serve notice, in
accordance with rules adopted pursuant to chapter 34.05
RCW, upon the property owner of a connection to a state
highway which is found by the department to be unpermit-
ted. This notice shall clearly describe the highway connec-
tion violation and shall establish a thirty-day time limit for
either applying for a connection permit or requesting an
adjudicative proceeding pursuant to chapter 34.05 RCW.
The sole issue to be determined at the adjudicative proceed-
ing is whether a permit should be required. The notice will
further advise the property owner that failure to act in either
of the prescribed ways within the time period will result in
department closure of -the unpermitted connection.
(2) Permit application. If a permit application is filed
within the thirty days, and the application is denied, the
department shall notify the property owner of the denial.
The property owner may then proceed with the permit
application revision process set fords in WAC 468 -51 -080 or
request an adjudicative proceeding pursuant to WAC 468 -51-
150 within thirty days. Failure- to,act in either of those
prescribed ways within the time period set forth in the rules
will result in department closure of the unpermitted connec-
tion. If the location and design ofahe connection in the
permit application are acceptable to the department, the
existing connection may continue to be used for a specified
period of time or until the, connection specified in the permit
application is ,constructed.
(3) Approval conditions. Modifications, relocation, or
closure of impetmitted connections may be required by the
department as a requirement of permit approval, subject to
the adjudicative,proceedings provisions of WAC 468 -51 -150.

be provided as replacements for existing approved permitted
connections, that are consistent with all current department
spacing, location, and design standards, based on the
following conditions:
(1) Nonconforming connections. All nonconforming
connections will be examined to determine if the construc-
tion project will require relocation, alteration, or closure of
the connection to make it conforming.
(2) Application of current standards. The number and
location of connections shall be modified to the maximum
extent possible to meet current department spacing, location,
and design standards. Where current department standards
cannot be met, the connection shall be classified as noncon-
forming.
(3) New connections, modifications. The department
shall allow new or require modification of existing connec-
tions if a connection permit application is made and ap-
proved.
(4) Replacement of existing connections. When
connections are made as part of a department construction
project replacing existing connection points without material
differences, no additional permit shall be required.
(5) New connections —Cost. The construction of new
connection points, if approved by the department, shall be
done at the owner's expense by either the department's
contractor as part of the roadway improvement or by the
owner's contractor at the department's option.
(6) Modifications —Cost. If the modification of the
connection point is more extensive than the routine replace-
ment of an existing connection, the owner shall also partici-
pate in the differential cost.
