Doug: I am a retired highway maintaince foreman. I don't know the laws in your area but in my county you must abide by rules that govern access to a public road.
1. You must have a permit from the agence that owns the road, local, county or state.
2. You have to have the proper sight distance.
3. You have to install the size pipe that is determined by the governing agency at your expense.
4. If you have a non functioning pipe or driveway apron it is up to the property owner to fix it.
Our engineer explains it this way. If you have a vacant piece of property what would be between your property and the road? A ditch. So if you want access to the road the responsibility becomes the property owners.
Alot of the rules are because of law suits. Example; if you have a blocked driveway pipe that permits water to run on the road and it should freeze and cause a accident then the governing agency and the property owner can be named in a law suit, with the property owner sharing in the award of damages.
I have seen newly installed driveways ripped out because the owner didn't comply with the rules.
Just my thoughts. I don't know if any of this would apply in you state.
