§ 27-68-106 — Designation and establishment of facilities

(a) The highway authorities of the state, counties, cities, towns, or villages may designate and establish controlled-access highways as new and additional facilities or may designate and establish an existing street or highway as included within a controlled-access facility. (b) The state or any of its subdivisions shall have authority to provide for the elimination of intersections at grade of controlled-access facilities with existing state and county roads, and city or town or village streets, by separation or service road, or by closing off the roads and streets at the right-of-way boundary line of such controlled-access facility. (c) After the establishment of any controlled-access facility, no highway or street which is not a part of the facility shall intersect it at grade. (d) No city, town, or village street, county or state highway, or other public way shall be opened into or connected with any controlled-access facility without the consent and previous approval of the highway authority in the state, county, city, town, or village having jurisdiction over the controlled-access facility. Consent and approval shall be given only if the public interest shall be served thereby.
