PART 752--LANDSCAPE AND ROADSIDE DEVELOPMENT--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 752.2  Policy.

    (a) Highway esthetics is a most important consideration in the 
Federal-aid highway program. Highways must not only blend with our 
natural social, and cultural environment, but also provide pleasure and 
satisfaction in their use.
    (b) The FHWA will cooperate with State and local agencies and 
organizations to provide opportunities for the display of original works 
of art within the highway rights-of-way.
    (c) The development of the roadside to include landscape 
development, safety rest areas, and the preservation of valuable 
adjacent scenic lands is a necessary component of highway development. 
Planning and development of the roadside should be concurrent with or 
closely follow that of the highway. Further, the development of travel 
information centers and systems is encouraged as an effective method of 
providing necessary information to the traveling public.
