• Abstract:
  This Guideline for Planting along Virginia Roadways provides broad policy
  
  statements for highway landscaping. The guideline's purpose is to ensure quality
  
  and consistency that conform with accepted landscape architectural principles
  
  and practices. We intend these guidelines to aid in the highway safety program
  
  as well as our maintenance operations.
  
  The guidelines have been developed to allow the Virginia Department of
  
  Highways and Transportation personnel maximum flexibility to respond appropriately
  
  to the varying environment throughout the Commonwealth. (Note: All specific
  
  site circumstances and planting desires may not be covered in this guideline.)
  
  Also, it will provide the private sector, including developers and garden clubs,
  
  with data on roadside planting.
  
  The Environmental Division will assist in implementing these guidelines as
  
  well as provide guidance in dealing with specific site conditions not covered
  
  here.
