Unincorporated road improvements have county design standards

For rural and edge-of-town property in Greene County, road design is a real development question. The Highway Department says its Design Standards for Public Road Improvements govern the design and construction of public road improvements within unincorporated Greene County.

That is a different reader job than reporting a pothole. It matters when a subdivision road, access change, gated community, or public road improvement is part of a land plan. The county page also points to related subdivision regulations, access-management zoning rules, and the Major Thoroughfare Plan.

Before assuming a private lane can become a public road, or that a new development entrance will be accepted as proposed, check the county standards and the right county office. If the parcel is inside a city, use that city instead.
