19A NCAC 02C .0104      IMPROVEMENT OF ROADS ADDED TO THE HIGHWAY SYSTEM

(a)  When a county road is added to the highway system, the road shall be maintained.  The addition of the road to the secondary road system does not imply that this road shall be widened, improved, stabilized or paved.

(b)  The general improvement of a road recently added to the system shall be considered in light of the service that the road renders to the general traveling public.  Dead end roads for example, may not necessarily receive the same level of maintenance service as connecting roads receive.
