  § 15-16. Temporary closing of county road.

Latest version.

  • (a)

    Upon application, the county manager or designee may issue a permit for the temporary closing of a county road. Applications to close local roads shall be made to the public works department. Applications to close collector or arterial roads shall be made in accordance with chapter 13, article V.

    (b)

    Applications shall be accompanied by maps, plans and management of traffic exhibits as appropriate. The proposed traffic management shall adhere to the latest versions of the federal highway administration's manual on uniform traffic control devices for streets and highways and the manual of uniform minimum standards for design, construction and maintenance for streets and highways (commonly known as the "green book").

    (c)

    Prior to the issuance of a permit, the county manager or designee shall make a determination that the temporary closure of the road is reasonable, that it will not cause a danger to the public, and that it will not interfere with the safe and efficient movement of traffic. No permit shall be issued if the county manager or designee determines that the closure of the county road will endanger the health, safety, and general welfare of the public by causing distractions to motorists, unsafe pedestrian movement within travel lanes, sudden stoppage or slowdown of traffic, rapid lane changing and other dangerous traffic movement, increased vehicular accidents, and motorist injuries and fatalities.

    (d)

    The county manager or designee may revoke a permit or approval issued under this section if there has been any false statement or misrepresentation as to a material fact in the application, maps, plans, or exhibits on which the permit or approval was based.

    (e)

    The board of county commissioners may, from time to time, establish by resolution such permit fees as the board shall deem equitable and necessary. Applications for a permit shall be accompanied by any fee established hereunder.
