The purpose of the standards adopted by this chapter is to provide general overall highway and street design and construction standards to better serve the public and to provide for:
A. The coordination of streets and roads within the county and other existing and planned roadways with the Idaho transportation plan.
B. To provide a continuous roadway network within the county to better serve the people of the county.
C. It is the intent of these standards to upgrade and maintain the safest roadway system available to the people of the county. It is not the intent to put forward conflicting standards that will infringe upon the safety of the traveling public.
D. The maintenance of the roadway system is the responsibility of the public works department. Consequently, the intent of these standards is also to facilitate that maintenance responsibility by designing roads and constructing them in such a fashion that maintenance will be minimized.
