N.Y. Vehicle & Traffic Law § 1652-a: Traffic signs, signals and marking on highways, roads and streets

§ 1652-a. Traffic signs, signals and marking on highways, roads and

streets. The county superintendent of highways of a county, except the

county of Suffolk, having a functioning traffic engineering unit may,

when authorized by the county governing board, have the responsibility

and authority for the installation, removal and maintenance of traffic

signs, signals and markings on, and provide traffic engineering services

in relation to any highway, road or street within a city, town or

village within such county, except state highways maintained by the

state, providing the governing body of the city, town or village

consents thereto by written agreement with the county governing board as

to the extent of the authority and responsibility of the county

superintendent of highways and any apportionment of costs for the

installation, removal and maintenance of the signs, signals and markings

and traffic engineering services. The power granted to the county

superintendent of highways by this section shall in no way diminish any

power over roads granted to counties or county highway superintendents

but shall be in addition to any such powers.
