§ 95 Snow Removal After Relinquishment

Key Takeaways

  • •If the state gives up part of an old highway because a new freeway replaced it, they might still clear snow there.
  • •This only happens if the state used to clear snow on that old road before giving it up.
  • •The old road must have winter fun places (like ski areas) that use it.
  • •The state and the county must agree to keep clearing snow on that old road.

Example

A small town has an old road leading to a ski resort. The state builds a new freeway nearby and stops using the old road. The town still needs the old road for the ski resort in winter.

The state might keep plowing snow on the old road if they used to do it before and the town agrees. This helps people still get to the ski resort safely.
