      county road entirely or partly constructed, reconstructed or improved at
      a   location  where  no  public  highway  theretofore  existed,  may  be
      designated within a county by the board of supervisors of  such  county,
      on  recommendation of the county executive, if any, or in any other case
      on recommendation  of  the  county  superintendent  of  highways,  as  a
      controlled-access  highway, to and from which the owners or occupants of
      abutting property or any other person shall  have  no  right  of  access
      either  as  pedestrians,  as  operators  of  vehicles  or  in  any other
      capacity, excepting at junctions of  such  highways  with  other  public
      highways,  and also excepting as such access may be reserved by the deed
      or final order of condemnation describing the property which has been or
      which  hereafter  shall  be   acquired   for   the   purpose   of   such
      controlled-access   highway.   Such   county   road   designated   as  a
      controlled-access highway shall be subject in all other respects to  the
      provisions  of  the  vehicle  and  traffic law, and the highway law with
      relation to county roads.
