What’s in it

Under current law, the agency which has control and jurisdiction over a road has the power, on its own motion, to alter or vacate and close any such road and to establish new roads which are or are intended to become a part of the road system over which the agency has jurisdiction and control. This bill requires the department of transportation (DOT) or county board of supervisors, as applicable, to take extra actions relating to notice, access, and restoration, listed in the bill, prior to, during, and after a road construction, modification, or repair project.

Read the full explanation

The requirements do not apply to projects of cities. The bill also requires the DOT to adopt a uniform classification for field entrance widths. Currently, the DOT classifies field entrances in different classes when addressed in different contexts, including in DOT rules and published manuals.
