247.953 Heritage routes; characteristics. Sec. 3.  Certain portions of the state trunkline highway system are so uniquely endowed by natural aesthetic, ecological, environmental, and cultural amenities immediately adjacent to the roadside that their use by a larger percentage of the motoring public, particularly during the recreational season, is for the experience of traveling the road rather than as a route to a destination.

The improvement philosophy for these roads is to maintain the essential elements of the road and the area immediately surrounding the road that create its unique character.
