The Town Board finds that the public interest, health, safety
and welfare will be promoted by providing for controlled-access highways,
as hereinafter defined, within the Town highway system. The Town Board
further finds that the designation of controlled-access highways will
contribute to, protect and enhance the physical and visual environment
of the Town.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
CONTROLLED ACCESS HIGHWAY
A Town highway in respect to which owners or occupants of
abutting lands and other persons have no legal right of access to
or from the same except at such points only and in such manner as
may be determined by the Town Board.
A Town highway entirely or partly constructed, reconstructed
or improved at a location where no public highway theretofore existed
may be designated by the Town Board, after receiving a recommendation
from the Town Superintendent of Highways, as a controlled-access highway.
The owners or occupants of abutting property or any other person
shall have no right of access as operators of vehicles or in any capacity
other than as pedestrians or bicyclists except at junctions of such
highways with other Town highways and also excepting as such access
may be reserved by the deed or final vesting order describing the
property which has been or which hereafter shall be acquired for the
purpose of such controlled-access highway. In addition, access to
and from abutting properties from which a part has been dedicated
for the purpose of such controlled-access highway may be authorized
by the Town Board. A controlled-access Town highway shall be subject
in all other respects to the provisions of the Vehicle and Traffic
Law, the Highway Law and all local laws and ordinances relating to
Town highways.
The following Town highways or portions thereof are designated
