No this is actually negotiated when a subdivision is approved and if the intent is for the construction of a "public way" then a bond is secured BEFORE construction commences and the planning board decides what standards must be met in order for that road to be accepted including a timeframe for completion. Just because the road happens to meet some NHDOT standard doesn't mean a thing, what matters is what the town's planning board says and agreed to. If the town isn't accepting it there is a reason why. No town or city is "obligated" to accept any road just because it has been built.
This is not the town's problem and you're not going to force it to become their problem either. In fact there is plenty of precedence on this.
