The Roadside Policy Manual provides practical roadside restoration policies and guidance, which are based on minimizing life cycle costs while providing operational and environmental functions. It promotes ecological context, environmental preservation, and maintainability. The manual is intended for project planning, scoping, environmental permitting, and for engineering designers, landscape architects, and construction and maintenance personnel.

Slow down – lives are on the line.

Drive the posted speeds, they’re there for your safety.

Phone down, eyes up.

Pay attention – both to workers directing you and to surrounding traffic.

Stay calm

Expect delays, leave early or take an alternate route if possible; no appointment is worth risking someone’s life.
