Deputy Lewis said that changes came following requests from parish officials.
A Visite du Branchage is an inspection of roads to ensure property owners have complied with the laws against vegetation encroaching on the highway.
Main roads are administered by the Minister for Transport and Technical Services.
Parish roads are administered by the Roads Committee of the relevant parish. Roads Inspectors are also elected to report on roads within their vingtaine.
