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.
