Skalicky, F.E., Director/County Engineer Bassarn Elters, P.E., Assistant County Engineer / FROM: RE: Designation of Primitixe Roads Arizona Revised Statutes ~ 18-207.01 . In the summer of 1993, county engineers and county attorneys from around Arizona along with staff from the County Supervisors Association met in Payson to discuss a growing concern for public entities that maintaiii. rural roads that were not built to county standards. These concerns stem from the liability associated with these roadways. In an effort to reduce this exposure, a draft piece of legislation was drawn up and taken to the Arizona Representatives (H.B. 2257) and passed into law as A.R.S. ~ 18-207.01 in the spring of 1994. It became state law beginning July 17, 1994. A.R.S. ~ 18-207.01 gives the Board of Supervisors for each county the authority to classify public roads within its jurisdiction as primitive roads. Only roads opened before June 13, 1975 and not built in accordance with county standards can be classified as primitive roads. The Statute also requires the county to sign these primitive roads in a way that lets the public know that the roads are not maintained on a regularly scheduled basis. 1. Purpose: To establish a unifonn policy among the Counties of Arizona in adopting a resolution, policy/procedures and signing guidelines for the designation of "Primitive Roads", A.R.S. ~ 18- 207.01. 2.
