A BILL to amend and reenact §17-2A-11 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to modifying the road classifications which the Division of Highways is to use when maintaining its digital road map.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:

(A) Primitive roads or unimproved roads;
(B) Graded and drained, soil surface (dirt), or gravel or stone roads;
(C) Paved unpainted roads;
(D) Paved with painted lines roads; or
(E) Interstate Highways.
(2) The digital road map shall further indicate the types of vehicles that may use each road, including full-size vehicles and off-highway vehicles, such as all-terrain vehicles, utility-terrain vehicles, motorcycles and off-road vehicles.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to modify the road classifications which the Division of Highways is to use when maintaining its digital road map.
