space for vehicles of customers or patrons seeking service at a roadside

located that the stopping or maneuvering space is at least 10 feet
back of the right-of-way line of a road.

curb and gutter (gutter will not be required except in cases where
the grade of the road is less than 0.0050 and in the opinion of the

curbing is installed by the developer, the developer will install
paving in the area between the edge of the existing pavement and curbing
along the entire property frontage of the road in accordance with
the standards and specifications as set forth by the Borough Engineer.
To facilitate the safe and efficient movement of traffic into
and out of a site, the Planning Board may, as a condition of the site
plan approval, require the installation of specified directional,
regulatory or advisory signs or pavement marking at designated locations
on the site or the right-of-way. Such signs shall be of a size, color
and design specified in accordance with the Uniform Manual of Traffic
