The List of county routes in Yates County, New York is a reference compilation that enumerates the county‑maintained highways within Yates County, a jurisdiction in the U.S. state of New York. These routes are designated as “CR #” (County Route #) and are signed with the standard New York county‑route marker – a blue pentagonal shield displaying the route number.
General characteristics
| Characteristic | Details |
|---|---|
| Authority | Yates County Department of Public Works (or equivalent county highway agency) |
| Signage | Blue pentagon shields with white numerals, conforming to the New York State county‑route signage standard |
| Numbering | Assigned by the county; numbers are not necessarily contiguous or geographically sequential. Numbers may be reused after renumbering, but each current designation is unique within the county. |
| Typical information in the list | • County route number (e.g., CR 1) • Length (mi/km) • Southern/western terminus (starting point) • Northern/eastern terminus (ending point) • Major intersections or connecting state routes • Notes on road surface, maintenance, or historical changes (when applicable) |
| Geographic scope | All county‑maintained roads located wholly or partially within the political boundaries of Yates County, including routes that serve local communities, connect state highways, and provide access to recreational areas such as the Finger Lakes region. |
| Relation to other systems | County routes complement New York state highways (NY #) and U.S. highways (US #) by providing more localized connectivity. They are not part of the federal highway network. |
Context within New York’s county‑route system
- New York State contains 62 counties, each of which establishes its own county‑route numbering scheme. The Yates County list follows the same format used for other counties (e.g., Albany, Erie) on Wikipedia and in official state publications.
- County routes are typically maintained at the county level, including responsibilities for pavement, signage, and right‑of‑way management.
- While many county routes are signed, some short or minor connectors may be unsigned despite being assigned a CR number for inventory purposes.
Availability of the list
The encyclopedia entry presents the routes in a tabular format, allowing readers to locate a specific county route by number and view its key attributes. The table may also include hyperlinks to individual route articles when those routes have been the subject of separate entries.
Note
The detailed content (specific route numbers, lengths, termini, and notes) reflects information compiled from Yates County highway logs, state transportation maps, and the referenced Wikipedia page. If exact data for a particular route is not currently documented in public sources, the entry may indicate “Insufficient data” for that field.
