New York S07393 allows town boards to designate low-volume and minimum maintenance roads, setting maintenance standards.

New York S07393 amends the highway law to permit town boards to designate low-volume roads and minimum maintenance roads. These roads, with traffic counts under fifty vehicles per day, are intended for agricultural or recreational access. The bill outlines procedures for designation, including public hearings and findings on traffic, property access, and safety. Minimum maintenance roads require less upkeep but must not restrict farm operations or state land access. The bill also allows for the discontinuation of such designations if deemed in the public interest.
