The total right of way width here is considered 50' for county and town roads. It's actually 3 rods, or 49.5'. The county road I live on has been blacktop as long as I've been around. In some places there's a shoulder wide enough to park on, in other places there is almost no shoulder. Some years ago some braniac at the county decided to paint lines in the middle. That didn't change the fact that if two trucks meet, they want to do it very carefully. The only good thing going for them is the road is crowned so much, their tires could be scraping, and their mirrors missing! But with that crown, it's not fun keeping a loaded truck off a seasonally soft shoulder- or a thin, weak blacktop edge. An Ithaca/Cornell retiree once exclaimed how they asked, and no one could show them a plan or design for our roads. I explained to this highly educated person how our roads were originally paths, started by animals, native Americans, settlers, people headed west, etc. They were maintained by farmers, as recently as my grandfather(I have the paper work). So they evolved. Gravel, then blacktop. But no planning. That's why the edges that keep getting pushed out, keep breaking up.
