operation of an authorized test vehicle over the route; or
(b) Analysis of the access route proposed by
application of vehicle templates to plans of the route.
(3) Denial of access to terminals and
services shall be based only on safety and engineering analysis of the access
route. Safety criteria include, but are not limited to, sight distance,
horizontal and vertical curvature, safe passing opportunities, rail and utility
crossings and collision data for the requested access.
(4) Routes are automatically approved if not
acted upon within 90 days of access review application.

manner established by the road authority for access review.
