§ 153A- 239.1. Naming roads and assigning street numbers in unincorporated areas for <br />counties. <br />(a) A county may by ordinance name or rename any road within the county and not <br />within a city, and may pursuant to a procedure established by ordinance assign or reassign <br />street numbers for use on such a road. In naming or renaming a road, a county may not: <br />(1) Change the name, if any, given to the road by the Board of Transportation, <br />unless the Board of Transportation agrees; <br />(2) Change the number assigned to the road by the Board of Transportation, but <br />may give the road a name in addition to its number; or <br />(3) Give the road a name that is deceptively similar to the name of any other <br />public road in the vicinity. <br />A county shall not name or rename a road or adopt an ordinance to establish a procedure to <br />assign or reassign street numbers on a road until it has held a public hearing on the matter. At <br />least 10 days before the day of the hearing to name or rename a road, the board of <br />commissioners shall cause notice of the time, place and subject matter of the hearing to be <br />prominently posted at the county courthouse, in at least two public places in the township or <br />townships where the road is located, and shall publish a notice of such hearing in a newspaper <br />of general circulation published in the county. At least 10 days before the day of the hearing to <br />adopt an ordinance to establish a procedure to assign or reassign street numbers on a road, the <br />board of commissioners shall publish a notice of such hearing in a newspaper of general <br />circulation in the county. After naming or renaming a road, or assigning or reassigning street <br />numbers on a road, a county shall cause notice of its action to be given to the local postmaster <br />with jurisdiction over the road, to the Board of Transportation, and to any city within five miles <br />of the road. Names may be initially assigned to new roads by recordation of an approved <br />subdivision plat without following the procedure established by this section. <br />(b) Repealed by Session Laws 1993, c. 62, s. 3.
