Practice 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 snow chains 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 to protect
wildlife, vegetation, or for your safety.
