                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

DEFINITIONS (§ 33.2-900)

As used in this chapter, unless the context requires a different meaning:

&#8220;Abandonment&#8221; means that the public&#8217;s right to use a public
highway, public landing, or public crossing has been extinguished.

&#8220;Discontinuance&#8221; means that the Board has determined that a highway,
landing, or crossing no longer serves the public convenience warranting its
maintenance at public expense; it divests the Department from maintenance
responsibilities. Discontinuance does not render a highway, landing, or crossing
unavailable for public use.
