(1) Registration. Private road names may be posted and used for addressing purposes only if they are registered with Clallam County. A private road name will not be registered if its similarity to an existing public or private road name is sufficient to confuse emergency response or mail delivery. Signing of an unregistered road name in such a way that emergency response may be mislead is prohibited.

A private road name will not be registered until a reasonable effort has been made to assure that there is no significant opposition to the new name, or that it is acceptable to a majority of its residents and property owners. If there is no available road name which is acceptable to a clear majority of those served by the road, the County may choose a name.

(2) Private Road Register. The Clallam County Department of Public Works shall maintain and make public a register of all public and approved private road names.
