Acceleration, deceleration, and passing lanes shall be required to promote the safety and convenience of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic within the site and in relation to adjoining access streets and roadways which serve the site, subject to the following conditions:

(1)

Acceleration, deceleration, and passing lanes for roadways, public or private, and driveways entering on a county primary or a paved road shall be required for all development projects requiring site plan review and approval under section 32-586. A passing lane shall not be required if a center turn lane is present or if insufficient right-of-way is available for its construction. The requirement for the installation of a passing lane may be also waived by the planning commission provided such waiver is first obtained by the applicant from the county road commission or the state department of transportation, as may be appropriate, prior to the review of the project by the township.

(2)

Where required, acceleration, deceleration or passing lanes shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the standards of the county road commission, the state department of transportation, or the adopted engineering and design standards of the township, depending upon which entity has jurisdiction of the respective roadway.

(3)

Installation of acceleration, deceleration and passing lanes shall be done at time of provision of initial road or driveway approach prior to any land balancing, site improvements or building construction on site, as defined in subsection (1) of this section.
