After ensuring that adequate access is available, the Commissioner may propose the designation of limited access for any segment of the State highway system. The proposal will be initiated by notice to the mayor or chief governing official of any municipality within which the subject State highway segment is located. Notification will also be made to the governing body of any county within which the segment is located, the appropriate metropolitan planning organization, elected representatives of the legislative district, and any contiguous municipality or county if the proposed designation will affect traffic patterns in such municipality or county.
