17 AAC 05.010. State highway system

(a) The state highway system includes highway facilities that fall within one of the following program classifications:

(1) highways that are included within the National Highway System established under 23 U.S.C. 103;

(2) the highway elements of the Alaska Highway System under 17 AAC 05.170(c) ;

(3) highways and transportation-related facilities designated under 17 AAC 05.170(d) (Community Transportation Program) or 17 AAC 05.170(e) (Trails and Recreational Access for Alaska (TRAAK) Program).

(b) The department will compile and publish a list of highway facilities that constitute the state highway system. In that list, the department will include

(1) the name common to or designated for each highway;

(2) each highway's numerical designation, if any;

(3) each highway's beginning and terminal points; and

(4) each highway's general route, identified by denoting principal settlements and landmarks along its course.

(d) To become official, designation of the state highway system must occur by means of a declaration of adoption by the commissioner. To become effective, a revision, addition, or deletion to that designation must occur by means of a similar declaration. The department will make available official maps of the system at cost.

(e) The provisions of (d) of this section do not apply to minor adjustments, revisions, or relocations, if the general location, route, and termini of each highway remain substantially unchanged and the class of the highway is not altered.

(f) The department may include both present and future routes in the state highway system, if future routes are suitably distinguished from present routes upon all maps, and in all recommendations and declarations of adoption by the commissioner.
