2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 405 - Control and Preservation of Public Highways|NRS 405.191 - "Public road" defined; county roads and highways may be established on rights-of-way over certain public lands.

As used in NRS 405.193 and 405.195, "public road" includes:  1. A United States highway, a state highway or a main, general or minor county road and any other way laid out or maintained by any governmental agency.  2. Any way which exists upon a right-of-way granted by Congress over public lands of the United States not reserved for public uses in chapter 262, section 8, 14 Statutes 253 (former 43 U.S.C. § 932, commonly referred to as R.S. 2477), and accepted by general public use and enjoyment before, on or after July 1, 1979. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, each board of county commissioners may locate and determine the width of such rights-of-way and locate, open for public use and establish thereon county roads or highways, but public use alone has been and is sufficient to evidence an acceptance of the grant of a public user right-of-way pursuant to former 43 U.S.C. § 932. In a county in which a board of county highway commissioners has exclusive control of all matters relating to the construction, repairing and maintaining of public highways, roads and bridges within the county pursuant to NRS 403.090, the board of county highway commissioners may locate and determine the width of those rights-of-way and open those rights-of-way for public use for the purpose of designating county roads pursuant to NRS 403.170 or taking any other action concerning those rights-of-way pursuant to chapter 403 of NRS.  3. Any way which is shown upon any plat, subdivision, addition, parcel map or record of survey of any county, city, town or portion thereof duly recorded or filed in the office of the county recorder, and which is not specifically therein designated as a private road or a nonpublic road, and any way which is described in a duly recorded conveyance as a public road or is reserved thereby for public road purposes or which is described by words of similar import.  (Added to NRS by 1979, 1174; A 1981, 923; 1993, 1427; 1997, 1615; 2011, 300)

2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 405 - Control and Preservation of Public Highways|NRS 405.193 - Public agency not required to maintain or accept road made public by prescriptive use; immunity of county from liability arising from use of certain public roads.

  1. No public agency is required to maintain any public road which is so designated only because it meets the requirements set forth in subsection 1 or 2 of NRS 405.191 nor is any public agency required to accept any public road as a main, general or minor county road.  2. No action may be brought against the county, its officers or employees for damage suffered by a person solely as a result of the unmaintained condition of a road made public pursuant to NRS 405.195.

"Public road" has the meaning ascribed to it in subsection 2 of NRS 405.191.  3. "Public utility" means any public utility, as that term is defined in NRS 704.020, that is subject to the jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada.

  1. Wherever an accessory road crosses public land, the accessory road is open to:  (a) Raisers of livestock in maintaining their herds;  (b) Any public utility in maintaining, constructing or operating any of its facilities; and  (c) The use of the general public.  2. The State and the respective local governments have no duty to maintain an accessory road and are immune from liability for damages suffered by any person as a result of using such a road.  3. Without obtaining a permit from any public agency, a private owner of land served by an accessory road or a raiser of livestock using such a road may maintain the road and remove debris or vegetation from it, but may not perform new construction. No public agency may charge a fee for the use or maintenance of an accessory road.  (Added to NRS by 1993, 1402)

  1. The State Forester Firewarden or the board of directors of a fire protection district may temporarily close or restrict the use of an accessory road when the danger of fire arising from use of the road so requires. The closure or restricted use may not restrict, impede or preclude the use of the road by a public utility in maintaining, constructing or operating any of its facilities.  2. A board of county commissioners may permanently close an accessory road in its county when the public safety or welfare so requires. Before permanently closing an accessory road, the board of county commissioners shall hold a public hearing. The board shall give written notice of the time and place of the hearing to each owner of land served by the road, and to each stock raiser known to use the road. The board shall also publish the notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the county for 3 successive weeks before the date set for the hearing.  3. Following the hearing, the board of county commissioners shall not close the road unless the benefit to public safety or welfare from its closing outweighs the detriment to owners of land served by the road, to raisers of livestock using the road and to the general public.  4. If the permanent closing of an accessory road deprives an owner of access by road to the owner’s land, the public agency closing the road shall pay the owner just compensation for the owner’s loss.
