N.Y. Highway Law § 117-b: Controlled-access highways in counties

§ 117-b. Controlled-access highways in counties. Notwithstanding the

provisions of any general, special or local law to the contrary, a

county road entirely or partly constructed, reconstructed or improved at

a location where no public highway theretofore existed, may be

designated within a county by the board of supervisors of such county,

on recommendation of the county executive, if any, or in any other case

on recommendation of the county superintendent of highways, as a

controlled-access highway, to and from which the owners or occupants of

abutting property or any other person shall have no right of access

either as pedestrians, as operators of vehicles or in any other

capacity, excepting at junctions of such highways with other public

highways, and also excepting as such access may be reserved by the deed

or final order of condemnation describing the property which has been or

which hereafter shall be acquired for the purpose of such

controlled-access highway. Such county road designated as a

controlled-access highway shall be subject in all other respects to the

provisions of the vehicle and traffic law, and the highway law with

relation to county roads.
