activity" is substituted for "devoted to a
business or industrial activity". Since
"commercial or industrial activity" is the
term defined in paragraph (1) of this
subsection and otherwise consistently used in
this part, the reference to a
"business...activity" apparently is but an
inadvertent oversight.
(C) DOUBLE-FACED.
"DOUBLE-FACED" MEANS ABUTTING AND FACING THE SAME
DIRECTION.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language
derived without substantive change from the
parenthetical phrase contained in Art. 89B,
§252(b)(iv).
It is placed in this section to clarify and
conform the meaning of "double-faced" as used
in various sections of this part.
(D) FEDERAL-AID PRIMARY HIGHWAY.
"FEDERAL-AID PRIMARY HIGHWAY" MEANS ANY STATE
HIGHWAY THAI IS PART OF THE NATIONAL FEDERAL-AID PRIMARY
SYSTEM, AS DESIGNATED BY THE ADMINISTRATION AND APPROVED
BY THE UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION UNDER
TITLE 23 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language
derived without substantive change from Art.
89B, §251 (e).
As to the designation of Federal-Aid Primary
Highways, see 23 U.S.C. §103.
