Driveway and Entranceway Installations
Before getting a new driveway culvert, you must first apply for an entrance way permit. Applications for Entrance Ways can be obtained through the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal, or by contacting the Department’s Capital Projects Division in your county.
However, if you are purchasing a piece of property along an arterial or seasonal highway, the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal must first approve access to the highway in accordance with the regulations under the Roads Act
If you are buying a parcel of land that is not an approved building lot, it is important to ensure that the property has safe access for an entrance way on a provincial highway. Failure to ensure safe access could mean that you may not be able to develop the property. The enforcement of regulations for safe highway access falls under the Roads Act Highway Access Regulations.To obtain an entrance way permit for an arterial or seasonal highway, or to determine safe access to a provincial highway, contact the Traffic Operations Section of the Capital Projects Division
If you require:
- a farm field entrance along all Provincial Highways when there is no building or subdivision involved;
- an entrance way along an arterial highway for commercial, industrial or institutional uses; or
- an entrance way along all Provincial Highways within Municipalities that administer their own Official Plans and Bylaws.
Contact a Property Development Officer of the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Reneweal for all other entrance ways for development and subdivision applications not included in the above.
