Reply to comment by potatocross in Why are Henrico roads so much better? by RefrigeratorRater

VDOT maintains interstates and state routes. Most streets (and schools, government, infrastructure) inside a town or city are maintained by the county or city in which they exist.

According to VDOT, they maintain secondary roads for all counties except Henrico and Arlington

Interesting. Today I learned.

However VDOT also states that they don't maintain roads in cities and towns (town are inside counties, and most Virginia cities are independent, thus responsible for their own stuff (like the City of Richmond.)

>Note: VDOT does not maintain roads in cities, towns, or in Henrico and Arlington counties, except for interstates and major primary roads. VDOT does not maintain all sidewalks, or pedestrian or bike paths. Some may be maintained by localities. Please submit a separate report for each request.
