Good Stewardship of
our Highways and Byways:
You can help to
take good care of our
scenic highways and
byways so that others
may enjoy these scenic
drives for years to
come by practicing
some of the following
actions:
Don't Litter... take along a trash bag or other receptacle for collecting your trash so that you can deposit it in the proper trash receptacle.
Make sure that you have the correct tires on your vehicle for the type of terrain/byway you will be driving on. In other words, take your snowchains off when the are no longer needed to prevent road damage.
Don't
drive an areas where
vehicles are not permitted.
These areas have been
declared "off
limits" to vehicles
