Access Permits

The State Highway Administration (SHA) is authorized under Maryland law to control access along State highways in order to provide and maintain a safe and properly functioning highway system. Control of access is accomplished through a number of statutory and regulatory mechanisms, including the acquisition of certain real property rights and the permit process. An SHA permit must be obtained from SHA prior to any construction activity on the State's right-of-way, including but not limited to the construction of driveways, entrances, and street connections for site development and subdivision access. 

SHA's Engineering Access Permits Division (EAPD) administers regulations pertaining to commercial and subdivision access to State highways and issues permits for the construction of approved entrances, street connections, and highway capacity improvements.The design and construction of all  improvements on State property must adhere to the State's standards, specifications, and accepted highway engineering practices. This is ensured through a comprehensive plan review and inspection process.
