to the contrary, for the purposes of this chapter, the following terms are
defined as follows:
COLLECTOR ROAD
All town roads that connect a main road, as herein defined, at two
different points or that lead from one main road to another main road. In
addition, the term "collector road" shall include roads that may be used as
detours should a main road be closed due to a catastrophe or reconstruction.
LOCAL ROAD
Includes all low-traffic roads within the town, such as those servicing
residential neighborhoods or which end in a dead end or cul-de-sac or empty
into another low-volume road.
MAIN ROAD

The following specifications, standards and requirements in connection
with the numbering of properties and principal buildings are hereby adopted:
A. All properties or parcels of land within the town shall
hereafter be identified for street location purposes by reference to the uniform
numbering system adopted herein.
B. Each principal building shall bear the number assigned
to the street frontage on which the driveway entrance is located, but if none,
then on which the front entrance is located. In case a principal building

to each separate use of such principal building shall bear a separate number.
C. Numerals indicating the official numbers for each principal
building or for each separate entrance as specified above shall be posted
in a manner as to be visible from the street on which the property is located.

tree, post or other appropriate place so as to be easily visible from the
street line and so as to identify clearly the driveway for the property. Whenever
any such building or property is occupied by more than one business, family
dwelling unit, or use, the official numbers shall be affixed both to a gatepost,
fence, tree, post or other such appropriate place, and also to the entrance
to each separate business, dwelling unit or use.

in height and shall be made of a durable and clearly visible, reflective material.

buildings unless this chapter has been complied with.
This chapter shall supersede any other inconsistent provision of any
local law, ordinance or resolution.
If any part or parts of this chapter is/are, for any reason, found to
be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining portions.
