But one should be considered with the other in relation to access, destination, disturbance, campsites, etc. These overlap somewhat with the routing and siting factors above. Stability and erosion control are standard requirements. Bridges should be built in keeping with the local characteristics of the park, by careful siting and preferably the use of local building materials. Park and management roads should sit on the landscape in preference to ploughing through it.
Speed is, in any case, undesirable in a national park.
A further reason is that there should be less likelihood of the need for disturbance by road maintenance works. We welcome your comment on our policies.
