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.
