        AN ACT to amend the highway law  and  the  public  authorities  law,  in
          relation  to  establishing  a mileage-based numbering system for exits
          along interstate highways within the state
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  The highway law is amended by adding a new section 332 to
     2  read as follows:
     3    § 332. Mileage-based exit numbers; interstate highways. 1. The commis-
     4  sioner is hereby authorized and directed, subject to appropriations made
     5  therefor, to develop and implement a plan to convert exit numbers  along
     6  interstate  highways  located  within this state to a mileage-based exit
     7  numbering system.  Such system shall:

     8    (a) follow, as closely as is practicable, the federal highway adminis-
     9  tration interchange exit numbering  system  of  mileage-based  reference
    10  post numbering;
    11    (b) follow the convention that such mileage-based exit numbering shall
    12  begin  at  the  southernmost  or westernmost terminus of such interstate
    13  highway; and
    14    (c) minimize cost by using existing roadside and  overhead  signs  and
    15  add-on plates to display new exit numbers whenever possible.
    16    2.  For  a period of two years following the completion of the conver-
    17  sion to the mileage-based exit numbering system made  pursuant  to  this
    18  section,  the  exit  number  of each exit prior to such conversion shall
    19  continue to be displayed at each such exit.

    20    3. The mileage-based exit numbering system set forth in  this  section
    21  shall be completed on or before January first, two thousand sixteen.

    18  sion  to  the  mileage-based exit numbering system made pursuant to this
    19  section, the exit number of each exit prior  to  such  conversion  shall
    20  continue to be displayed at each such exit.

    24  York  state  thruway  authority  shall  work  in cooperation and jointly
    25  establish uniform standards  and  signage  for  the  mileage-based  exit
    26  number required by the provisions of this act.
    27    § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
