Highway Access Permits
Overview
Property owners seeking traffic access to state roadways and transportation infrastructures must submit applications for access to New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT). Access applications with fewer than 500 daily trips are considered minor, while those with more than 500 are considered as major. For further guidance, see the New Jersey State Highway Access Management Code below. Roadway designers should also consult the code to determine access requirements for design plans.
New Jersey State Highway Access Management Code
The rules governing access to state roadways can be found in the

Note: All of the Application Forms (MT32, MT155, MT156, MT158, MT159, MT160) that were formally located on this page are now listed on the

Access Design Considerations
NJDOT has a guidance document summarizing access design information to be provided by all designers and criteria used to evaluate for permit applications. Consultant designers working on access plans and cutouts for New Jersey state highways may find this useful information in the NJDOT Access Design Manual. This manual includes designer requirements for revocations, modifications and adjustments of access.

Access Management Presentation
Consultant designers working on access cutouts for New Jersey state highways may find information in the Access Design training presentation helpful. Call NJDOT if you have any questions relating to this training program.
The training presentation was prepared by the NJDOT Major Access Permit Bureau Office of Access Design, which administers the New Jersey State Highway Access Management Code. The Office evaluates the access impacts of properties during the Scoping stage, prepares access cutouts for in-house designs, reviews access cutouts for projects designed by consultants and notifies property owners about access.
