(2) Cul-de-sacs shorter than two hundred feet (200') and providing access to
four (4) or fewer lots should not be named and should assume the name of
the intersecting through street unless the Addressing Official determines
that a separate name is necessary. However, where there is a series of long
and short cul-de-sacs, all should have separate names.
(3) A cul-de-sac may bear the same name as its intersecting through street
with a different suffix designation without being considered a name
duplication.
(4) In peculiar circumstances where a road loops back on itself for a
substantial length, the Addressing Official may give a street two (2)
different prefixes using a logical breaking point to ensure appropriate
identification.
(5) Major arterials and highways which change direction for a significant
distance may change directional prefixes at the most logical and
convenient break point, i.e. when a highway crosses the “0” point in a grid
system.
(6) Streets located on the same alignment in the same geographical region
shall not bear the same name and directional prefix if they are not
connected.
(7) Roadways that continue beyond a 90 degree turn and have road segments
of at least two hundred feet (200’) in length or road segments that have
the potential to extend to at least two hundred feed (200’) in the future,
shall be officially named with separate road names to prevent confusion
of the direction of the roadway.
(8) The County accepts no liability for maintenance or signage by naming
private roadways. Roadways intersecting with County maintained Rights-
Of-Way are subject to Yavapai County Public Works policies.
