In designating and selecting roads on the county road system, the boards of county commissioners of the several counties shall take into account such factors as the actual or potential traffic volumes, the conservation and development of the county’s natural resources, the general economy of the communities, and the desirability of integrating such county roads into the general scheme of the statewide network of county roads.
