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.
