Chapter 9 - Abandonment and Discontinuance of Highways and Roads
§ 33.2-900. Definitions
Universal Citation: VA Code § 33.2-900 (2018)
As used in this chapter, unless the context requires a different meaning:
"Abandonment" means that the public's right to use a public highway, public landing, or public crossing has been extinguished.
"Discontinuance" means that the Board has determined that a highway, landing, or crossing no longer serves the public convenience warranting its maintenance at public expense; it divests the Department from maintenance responsibilities. Discontinuance does not render a highway, landing, or crossing unavailable for public use.
2014, c. 805.
