 CHAPTER I--FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
 
PART 752_LANDSCAPE AND ROADSIDE DEVELOPMENT--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 752.10  Abandoned vehicles.

    (a) Abandoned motor vehicles may be removed from the right-of-way 
and from private lands adjacent to Federal-aid highways for the 
restoration, preservation, or enhancement of scenic beauty as seen from 
the traveled way of the highway as a landscape or roadside development 
project.
    (b) The State shall obtain permission or sufficient legal authority 
to go on private land to carry out this program. Where feasible, an 
agreement should be made with the owner that he will not in the future 
place junk, or allow junk to be placed, on his land so as to create an 
eyesore to the traveling public. The permission or authority and the 
agreement may be informal.
    (c) The collection of abandoned motor vehicles from within the 
right-of-way must be a development project and not a maintenance 
operation. Once a State completes a development project for the removal 
of abandoned motor vehicles from within the highway right-of-way, it is 
obligated to continue the removal of future abandoned motor vehicles 
from within the development project limits without further 
participation.
