If a city annexes territory which is not included within its existing boundaries, the territory annexed includes the following:

1. If the annexed territory abuts upon one side of a county road, state highway or railroad and the territory which abuts upon the opposite side of the road, highway or railroad is not within the boundaries of the annexing city, the annexed territory extends to the middle of the road, highway or railroad. The governing body of a city may annex the remaining portion of the road, highway or railroad, and that portion of any county road which is then included in the annexed territory becomes a city street.

2. If the annexed territory abuts upon a county road, state highway or railroad on both sides of the road, highway or railroad, or if the annexed territory abuts upon one side of a county road, state highway or railroad and the territory which abuts upon the opposite side of the road, highway or railroad is within the existing boundaries of the annexing city, the annexed territory includes the portion of road, highway or railroad so abutted on both sides, and that portion of any county road which is then included in the annexed territory becomes a city street.
