Holy smokes that's a liberal policy. Where I live in order to get the town to plow the road has to be built to town standard with certified contruction inspections all throughout the process. Then you have to get a final survery to make sure there are no right-of-way issues and that it was built to the plan. THEN, you have to request the selectmen to put it on the town warrant so your tax paying bretheren deem it worthy to make you part of the snow plowed crowd. I've never seen a road denied at town meeting, but many have failed to get the town blessing to get on the warrant because of issues (big and tiny) during contruction or meeting plan criteria.
The one difference is after they accept it as a town road, the maintenance and upkeep ownership is borne onto the town thereafter.
Wow, I should propose that to my selectmen at a meeting just to see them laugh at me.
