New Jersey's experience has been an evolutionary process with regard to variances. When the regulations required by the State Highway Access Management Act were being developed, there was an expectation that variances would be routinely granted. It quickly became evident that each granted variance diminished the strength of the regulation, which in turn reduced the levels of highway safety and capacity that the regulations were intended to provide. New Jersey currently uses a more judicious approach to variances. Consideration should also be given to the long term consequences of variances. Variances help set the future direction of an Access Code. Variances that are routinely granted should eventually be authorized as accepted practice. This paper suggests a hierarchy for variances and some reasons to consider before deciding to grant a variance.
