prescribed roadway. Parking within the street right-of-way or on the street shoulder is prohibited. 10. On-site Traffic Circulation Internal traffic patterns for a development should take into account the overall traffic circulation, drive-in reservoir and parking space capacities, internal turning movements, and projected trip/parking generation rates. The traffic circulation pattern must be consistent with the type access operation and should not require on-site traffic to cross or conflict with access traffic or to use the highway via an access as part of the pattern. 11. Service Fixtures Service Fixtures such as gasoline pumps, mailboxes, and drive-up windows, should be placed as far from accesses as practical so that traffic using the service fixtures does not interfere with normal access operation. Adequate and well-defined storage areas should be provided for service fixtures where the queuing of traffic may occur. These storage areas should be positioned on the development so that waiting vehicles do not block or impede the movement of access traffic. a. Service Stations One of the more common and conspicuous service fixtures is the gasoline pump and its foundation island. The minimum distance between the highway right-of-way line and the edge of the gasoline pump island shall be 25 feet, unless zoning regulations specify a greater distance. b. Drive-up Windows, Car Washes and Similar Service Fixtures Favorable operation at drive-up windows and similar service fixtures is heavily dependent on the provision of adequate and well-defined storage areas for the drive-up window traffic. All waiting traffic must be stored on private property clear of accesses. Applicants for access permits to drive in service developments will be required to furnish the following data, in addition to other information deemed necessary by the City of Tiffin. i. Traffic flow pattern for the facility and, if included, of the service station operation. ii. The total number of off-street storage spaces for the operation.
