Abstract:

This study of the techniques used to protect scenic byways is part of the Federal Highway Administration's comprehensive feasibility study of a national system of scenic byways. Its focus is on the historical qualities of byways that complement or contribute to natural scenic qualities. Through case studies of four highways, the techniques that have been used to protect scenic and historic byways are documented and analyzed. The efficacy of the techniques is evaluated over time, and specific recommendations from the protection of scenic byways are made. The techniques that have been used to protect scenic byway corridors range from fee-simple acquisition of land to designating a road as scenic. Like fee-simple ownership, easements are a strong protective technique. Comprehensive planning and zoning ordinances, especially those that incorporate a highways corridor overlay district, can be effective techniques. Less effective are public policy statements, tax incentives, and local initiative. All have been used with varying degrees of long-term success.
