27:5E-5. Screening of junkyard
Any junkyard lawfully in existence on the effective date of this act which is within 1,000 feet of the nearest edge of the right-of-way and visible from the main-traveled way of any highway on the interstate or primary systems, shall be screened, if feasible, by the Department of Transportation at locations on the highway right-of-way or in areas acquired for such purposes outside the right-of-way so as not to make such a junkyard visible from the main-traveled way of such highways. When the Commissioner of Transportation determines that it is in the best interest of the State he may acquire such lands, or interests in lands, as may be necessary to provide adequate screening of such junkyards.
