Motor vehicles may be parked within

without causing damage to NFS

resources or facilities, unless

prohibited by state law, a traffic sign, or

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits

discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis

of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where

political beliefs, reprisal, or because all or part of an

individual's income is derived from any public assistance

program. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.)

Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for

communication of program information (Braille, large print,

audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA's TARGET Center at

 As a motor vehicle operator on a National Forest System

road, trail, or area, you must comply with this map, as well as

all Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

Compliance with these rules is your responsibility.

OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

 Operating a motor vehicle on National Forest System

roads, National Forest System trails, and in areas on National

Forest System lands carries a greater responsibility than

operating that vehicle in a city or other developed setting. Not

only must you know and follow all applicable traffic laws, you

need to show concern for the environment as well as other

forest users. The misuse of motor vehicles can lead to the

temporary or permanent closure of any designated road, trail,

or area. As a motor vehicle operator, you are also subject to

State traffic law, including State requirements for licensing,

registration, and operation of the vehicle in question.

 Motor vehicle use, especially off-highway vehicle use,

involves inherent risks that may cause property damage,

serious injury, and possibly death to participants. Drive

cautiously and anticipate rough surfaces and features, such

as snow, mud, vegetation, and water crossings common to

remote driving conditions. By your participation, you

voluntarily assume full responsibility for these damages,

risks, and dangers. Take care at all times to protect yourself

and those under your responsibility.

 Much of the Los Padres National Forest is remote.

Medical assistance may not be readily available. Cellular

telephones do not work in many areas of the Los Padres

National Forest. Take adequate food, water, first-aid supplies,

and other equipment appropriate for the conditions and

expected weather.

 ALWAYS REMEMBER TO RESPECT PRIVATE LAND!

PROTECT YOUR PRIVILEGE. STAY ON DESIGNATED

ROADS AND TRAILS AND IN DESIGNATED AREAS.

 Read and understand this map in its entirety. If you have

questions please contact the Los Padres National Forest for

clarification.

PROHIBITIONS

It Is prohibited to possess or operate a motor vehicle on

National Forest System lands on the Los Padres National

Forest other than in accordance with these designations

(36 CFR 261.13).

 Violators of 36 CFR 261.13 are subject to a fine of up to

$5,000, imprisonment for up to 6 months, or both (18 U.S.C.

3571(e)). This prohibition applies regardless of the presence

or absence of signs.

 This map does not display nonmotorized uses, over-snow

uses, or other facilities and attractions on the Los Padres

National Forest. Obtain forest visitor information from the

local national forest office.

 Designated roads, trails, and areas may also be subject to

temporary, emergency closures. As a visitor, you must comply

with signs notifying you of such restrictions. A national forest

may issue an order to close a road, trail, or area on a

temporary basis to protect the life, health or safety of forest

visitors or the natural or cultural resources in these areas.

Such temporary and/or emergency closures are consistent

with the Travel Management Rule (36 CFR 212.52 (b), 36

CFR 261 subpart B).

 The designation "road or trail open to all motor vehicles"

does not supersede State traffic law.

PURPOSE AND CONTENTS OF THIS MAP

 The designations shown on this motor vehicle use map

(MVUM) were made by the responsible official pursuant to 36

CFR 212.51; are effective as of the date on the front cover of

this MVUM; and will remain in effect until superseded by next

year's MVUM.

 Designation of a road, trail, or area for motor vehicle

use by a particular class of vehicle under 36 CFR 212.51

should not be interpreted as encouraging or inviting use

or implying that the road, trail, or area is passable,

actively maintained, or safe for travel. Motor vehicle

designations include parking along designated routes

and at facilities associated with designated routes when it

is safe to do so and when not causing damage to

National Forest System resources. Seasonal weather

conditions and natural events may render designated

roads and trails impassable for extended periods.

Designated areas may contain dangerous or impassable

terrain. Many designated roads and trails may be

passable only by high-clearance vehicles or four-wheeldrive vehicles. Maintenance of designated roads and

trails will depend on available resources, and many may

 This motor vehicle use map identifies those roads,

trails, and areas designated for the motor vehicle use

under 36 CFR 212.51 for the purpose of enforcing the

prohibition at 36 CFR 261.13. This is a limited purpose.

The other public roads are shown for information and

navigation purposes only and are not subject to

designation under the Forest Service travel management

 These designations apply only to National Forest

System roads, National Forest System trails, and

areas on National Forest System lands.

It is the responsibility of the user to acquire the current

MVUM. This map shows the National Forest System

roads, National Forest System trails, and the areas on

National Forest System lands in the Los Padres National

Forest that are designated for motor vehicle use

pursuant to 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
