Description: This guide for highway landscapes design has been prepared by members of the Operating Committee on Roadside Development of the American Association of State Highway Officials. The proper development of our rural and urban highways is one of the most important and challenging problems that confronts the designers of highways today. Careful study and consideration should be given to the landscape development of the highway and its roadsides form the very time that the new Interstate highway routes are being studies. By the use of these landscape design guides the new highways and their roadsides may be attractively integrated into the overall patterns of land use.
