highway unless separated from the street or highway at least five
feet by a raised curb and a barrier planting strip, wall or other
effective visual and noise barrier against traffic, except for necessary
accessways to any one public street or highway for each 500 feet of
frontage. Where practical, access to parking areas shall be provided
by a common service driveway or minor street in order to avoid direct
access on a major street or highway. No such accessway shall be more
than 35 feet in width.

In every district, all such lighting shall be arranged so as to protect
the street or highway and adjoining property from direct glare or
hazardous interference of any kind. Any light shall be equipped with
some type of glare-shielding device approved by the Borough Engineer.
The height of any light shall not exceed 25 feet.
