SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Rustic Road Program. Provides for a Rustic Road Program by the Virginia Department of Transportation, beginning July 1, 2003. At the request of a county board of supervisors, the Department may designate a road or road segment as a Rural Rustic Road if it (i) is located in a low-density development area and has an average daily traffic volume of no more than 500 vehicles per day and (ii) has a posted speed limit consistent with the topography and features along the road. For a road or road segment so designated, improvements must utilize a paved surface width based on reduced and flexible standards that leave trees, vegetation, side slopes, and open drainage abutting the roadway undisturbed to the maximum extent possible without compromising public safety.
