Access to Regulated Roadways Except with respect to Lots served by Shared Access Driveways, each Lot shall have the minimum direct frontage onto a Regulated Roadway set forth below and Driveways shall be spaced no closer than the minimum space intervals set forth below, depending on the classification of road onto which the Lot has frontage and the driveway has access.
