247.952 Intent of the legislature.
Sec. 2.
It is the intent of the legislature to establish this state's responsibility for the enhancement and enjoyment of Michigan's scenic, recreational, and historic resources along its roadside by identifying and designating certain portions of the state trunk line highway system as Pure Michigan byways. It is further the intent of the legislature in designating Pure Michigan byways to assign responsibility for the development of the byways and for the establishment and application of specific planning and design criteria and procedures appropriate to the byways. The legislature further intends to provide criteria for the location and length of Pure Michigan byways and adjacent areas requiring continuing and careful coordination of planning, design, construction, maintenance, land use, and development, by state and local agencies as appropriate, to encourage adjacent land use consistent with the intent of the designation.

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. Because of the immediate proximity of these features, roads may possess characteristics such as the following: pavement width of 16 to 20 feet, shoulders as narrow as 2 feet with trees immediately adjacent, curves that restrict maximum legal speeds, hills, steep side slopes, and narrow rights-of-way. 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.
