County Route 43 (Westchester County, New York)
County routes in Westchester County, New York, are maintained by the Westchester County highway department. They provide additional interconnections between state highways within the county. Some portions of state highways in Lower Westchester County are county-maintained and thus also carry county route designations. Additionally, actions relating to planning and zoning along some former county roads are still subject to review by the Westchester County Planning Board, and these roads still carry their county route numbers for inventory purposes. The vast majority (if not all) of county routes in Westchester County are unsigned.

County Route
A county highway (also county road or county route; usually abbreviated CH or CR) is a road in the United States and in the Canadian province of Ontario that is designated and/or maintained by the county highway department. Route numbering can be determined by each county alone, by mutual agreement among counties, or by a statewide pattern. Any county-maintained road, whether or not it is given a signed number, can be called a county road. Depending on the state or province and county, these roads can be named after geographic features, communities, or people. Or they may be assigned a name determined by a standardized grid reference: "East 2000" would be a north–south road running 20 blocks/miles/km east of the designated zero point. Many other variations are also used. Many locales have somewhat arbitrarily assigned numbers for all county roads, but with no number-signage at all or only on standard street name blades. County roads and highways vary greatly in design standar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
