The Gila County Board of Supervisors has adopted policy and procedures guidelines for designating some County Maintained Roads as a Primitive Road as defined in ARS. §28-6706.  The purpose for these guidelines is to establish a uniform countywide policy pertaining to the designation and maintenance of “Primitive Roads”.

As stated in ARS§28-6706, the Board of Supervisors for each county has the authority to classify public roads within its jurisdiction as “primitive roads”.  Only public roads opened before June 13, 1975, and not built in accordance to county standards can be classified as primitive roads.  The Statue also requires the county to sign these primitive roads in a way that lets the public know that the roads are not maintained on a regularly scheduled basis.
