<br /> The interaction between land development and the ,,t

<br /> sites with driveways located too close to intersections,for 4 a

<br /> throughout Florida, we believe a critical site plan feature `"ir 'R` �+

<br /> from the roadway to the first encountered parking aisle. ;, s „ sp ,t" 4v--
<br /> If this distance is too close to the roadway, the capacity "° Ir
