§ 33.1-42. Incorporation into State Highway System of connecting streets and roads in certain other towns and ...
The Commonwealth Transportation Board may, by and with the consent of the Governor and the governing body of any incorporated town or city having a population of 3,500 inhabitants or less, incorporate in the State Highway System such streets and roads or portions thereof in such incorporated town or city as may in its judgment be best for the handling of traffic through such town or city from or to any road in the State Highway System and may, in its discretion, eliminate any of such roads or streets or portions thereof from the State Highway System. Every such action of the Commonwealth Transportation Board incorporating any such road or street or portion thereof in the State Highway System or eliminating it therefrom, shall be recorded in its minutes.
Any such road or street or portion thereof in any such city or town so incorporated in the State Highway System shall be subject to the rules, regulations and control of the state road authorities as are other roads in the State Highway System. But such town or city shall be obligated to pay the maintenance and construction and reconstruction costs of such roads or streets or portions thereof so incorporated in the State Highway System in excess of the amounts authorized to be spent by the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner on such roads or streets.
Every provision in the charter of any such town or city insofar as it is in conflict with this section is hereby repealed.
The Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner may in his discretion permit such town or city to maintain any such road or street, or portion thereof, incorporated in the State Highway System, and reimburse such city or town up to such amount as he is authorized to expend on the maintenance of such road or street, or portion thereof.
