DEFINITIONS (§ 33.2-900)

As used in this chapter, unless the context requires a different
meaning:”Abandonment” means that the public’s right to use a
public highway, public landing, or public crossing has been
extinguished.”Discontinuance” 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.
