Who mows the County's road medians?
In Roanoke County, the maintenance of medians has always been the responsibility of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Because of the budget shortfall, VDOT announced earlier this year that it would be cutting back on the frequency of its mowing. Because it takes special equipment to mow medians and roadsides, Roanoke County doesn’t have the equipment necessary to perform this function. If you need further information or have any questions, please contact VDOT at 540-387-5488.
What are the County's street and parking design standards?
Please refer to Chapter 3 of the Roanoke County Design Handbook.

What designates a street as private and not state maintained?
Private streets are those where the use is permissive or privileged by the right of ownership. The term is often confused with public streets that are privately maintained by residents or homeowners association. Private street connections to state maintained roadways must meet all VDOT criteria for subdivision street connections, such as sight distance, pavement structure, auxiliary lanes, signalization, and permits. The route numbering range for private streets is 4000 or greater. Private street signs are white, while roads that state maintained are green in color.
