Designation of any such way as a state highway may be accomplished only by a written agreement properly executed by the Director and recorded in the county in which the highway is located.  3. Other highways may be designated by the Director as state routes if:  (a) They connect or extend existing state highways; or  (b) Their construction, reconstruction, improvement and maintenance by the Department is anticipated within a reasonable period.  4. For administrative purposes all state highways and routes may be selected, designated and assigned route numbers by the Director. Numbers selected may conform so far as possible to applicable federal designations of routes.  5. All roads connecting state parks with state or county highways or city streets, where the title thereto is in the State, are parts of the state highway system and may be maintained by the State. The Department may construct and maintain roads within state parks subject to approval of locations and design by the Division of State Parks of the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
