1720. This article provides an alternative procedure for the
establishment of a county highway within a city. This article shall
be applicable in those counties adopting a county highway bond issue
after January 1, 1961.
1721. The board of supervisors by resolution may determine that it
is of general county interest that an existing street in the county
extending in whole or in part within a city be made a county highway
within the city or that a new county highway be laid out, acquired,
constructed and maintained in whole or in part within a city. The
resolution shall describe the proposed location or relocation and the
general nature of construction proposed to be undertaken by the
county. A copy of such resolution shall be forwarded to the governing
body of the city within which is included any portion of the
highway.
1722. The governing body of the city, by resolution, may consent to
the establishment of the proposed county highway and may relinquish
to the county in whole or in part an existing city street. If the
governing body of the city wishes to change the location or
relocation of the highway proposed by the board of supervisors, it
may adopt a report describing the proposed revisions and file a copy
with the board of supervisors. The board shall consider the report
and may modify its resolution. If the board modifies its resolution
it shall forward a copy of such resolution to the governing body of
the city. The city may then adopt a resolution of consent to the
modified county resolution.
1723. Upon the adoption of the resolution of consent by the city,
such street or portion thereof within the city shall thereupon
constitute a county highway. A certified copy of such resolution
shall be filed with the board of supervisors. When the city council
relinquishes an existing city street to the county, a certified copy
of such resolution shall be recorded; and upon such recordation, all
right, title and interest of the city in and to such portion of the
city street shall vest in the county.
1724. Thereafter, the board of supervisors of the county may
acquire, construct and maintain such highway as other county highways
are acquired, constructed and maintained and may pay for such work
out of one or more of the following:
(a) The proceeds of any county bond issue for county highway
construction;
(b) The road fund;
(c) The county general fund;
(d) Any other funds available for county highway purposes.
1725. Whenever a county highway has been established within a city,
as provided in this article, and an extension of such highway in the
unincorporated area of the county is thereafter annexed by the city,
the portion annexed shall continue to be a county highway until a
resolution of relinquishment is adopted in accordance with Section
1731.
1726. The county and city may agree that the city shall acquire,
construct or maintain designated county highways or portions thereof
within the city, the cost thereof to be paid by the county or the
city or both agencies as may be agreed upon.
1727. The city may by agreement co-operate with the county in the
acquisition, construction or maintenance of designated county
highways or portions thereof within the city in one or more of the
following ways:
(a) Contribute money or property;
(b) Acquire and deliver material;
(c) Furnish labor, legal or engineering services;
(d) Loan its highway equipment;
(e) Contribute money to be used for the payment of interest upon,
or for the payment or redemption of bonds, the proceeds of which have
been used for work on county highways within the city.
1728. No city street shall be closed, either directly or
indirectly, by the construction of a county highway within a city as
a freeway except pursuant to an agreement between the city council
and the board of supervisors or while temporarily necessary during
construction operations. No city street or other public highway shall
be opened into or connected with any county highway declared to be a
freeway by the board of supervisors unless and until the board of
supervisors adopts a resolution consenting to the same and fixing the
terms and conditions on which such connection shall be made and the
board of supervisors may give or withhold its consent or fix such
terms and conditions as in its opinion will best serve the public
interest.
The board of supervisors is authorized to enter into an agreement
with the city council to close any city street at or near the point
of its interception with any county highway declared to be a freeway
under Section 941.1 or to make provision for carrying such city
street over or under or to a connection with the freeway, and the
board of supervisors may do any and all work on such city street as
is necessary therefor.
1729. The police power of a city with reference to a county highway
within the city shall not be limited except as to those matters
specifically provided for in this article.
1730. (a) No ordinance of a city relating to the stopping, standing
or parking of a vehicle shall become effective as to a county
highway established pursuant to this article within the city without
prior submission to and approval by the board of supervisors. No city
shall erect or maintain any stop sign, semaphore, or other traffic
control signaling device in a manner that requires the traffic on any
county highway established pursuant to this article within the city
to stop before entering or crossing any intersecting street or any
railroad grade crossing, without the permission of the board of
supervisors.
(b) An ordinance adopted on or after January 1, 2005, by a county
under Section 21960 of the Vehicle Code to prohibit or restrict
pedestrian use of a portion of a county freeway or expressway
contained within the limits of a city shall not become operative
until approved by the city.
1731. The board of supervisors, by resolution, may relinquish to
the city a county highway or any portion thereof located within the
city. A certified copy of such resolution shall be filed with the
city council. A certified copy of such resolution shall also be
recorded in the office of the county recorder, and upon recordation,
all right, title and interest of the county in and to such portion of
a county highway shall vest in the city, and such highway or portion
thereof shall thereupon constitute a city street.
1732. County highways established pursuant to this article shall be
included in the terms "maintained mileage of county roads" and
"miles of maintained county road" as those terms are used in Chapter
3 (commencing with Section 2100) of Division 3.

body of the city within which is included any portion of the
highway.
1722. The governing body of the city, by resolution, may consent to

governing body of the city wishes to change the location or
