Delaware § 1201 - Purposes.
Full text of Delaware Delaware Code § 1201 — Purposes., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 1201. Purposes.
The establishment, operation and maintenance of junkyards in areas adjacent to the public highways of this State should be controlled in order to promote the safety and recreational value of public travel, to protect the public investment in public highways and to preserve and enhance the scenic beauty of lands bordering such highways.
The people of this State would suffer economically if the State failed to participate fully in the allocation and apportionment of federal-aid highway funds since a reduction in federal-aid highway funds would necessitate increased taxation to support and maintain the state road program system. It is, consequently, the intention of this chapter, among other things, to provide a statutory basis for the establishment, operation and maintenance of junkyards consistent with the public policy relating to areas adjacent to federal-aid interstate and primary highways declared by the Congress of the United States, in Title 23, United States Code.
