§ 138-3. Road names.

The agent is hereby authorized to assign names to any public or private roads in Shenandoah County which provide access to three or more occupied buildings.

A. 

No road within Shenandoah County shall be assigned a name on a subdivision plat or otherwise until such name is registered with the agent and added to the Shenandoah County Road Name Index. The agent shall have the authority to refuse registration of any name already in use or deemed confusing for purposes of emergency response.

B. 

No street or road name currently shown on a subdivision plat filed with the county or otherwise shall be implemented by a subdivision owner until such name has been registered with the agent and added to the Shenandoah County Road Name Index; provided, however, that this section shall not apply to any street or road presently constructed on which street signs have been placed prior to the effective date of this chapter. The agent shall have the right to refuse registration of any name already registered or deemed confusing for purposes of emergency response.

C. 

The owner of any subdivision or other development shall erect or cause to be erected, at his expense, street signs in conformance with this chapter at any and all intersections within such subdivisions or development upon the construction of any street on or after the effective date of this chapter. Where any subdivision owner is currently required to erect street signs but has failed to do so, the future erection of street signs shall be in conformance with this chapter.
