§ 24-3-201 — Purpose of procedure

The legislature finds that due to inaccurate and inconsistent
records, there exist roads which are seldom used, not maintained
and are not identified as or believed by the public to be county
roads but are, in fact, county roads. Recognizing the numerous
difficulties resulting from the existence of such county roads,
the legislature finds it in the best interest of the public to
create a procedure to identify county roads, thereby altering
and vacating these abandoned or unnecessary county roads without
survey.
