1. (1) Interim access management standards shall be applied to unclassified roadways on the SHS, such as when a local government transfers a roadway to the Department to become part of the SHS. After a roadway has been classified pursuant to this rule chapter, the access management standards associated with the designated access control classification shall supersede these interim standards.

1. (2) The assignment of an access control classification to all segments of the SHS shall be the responsibility of the Department. The Department shall provide notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation of proposed access control classification and shall coordinate with and consider the comments of the affected governmental entities before assigning a final access control classification to a roadway segment. The Department will hold public meetings, if requested to seek comment before final access classification of a roadway segment. Upon assignment of access control classification, the Department will provide notice to affected governmental entities.
