• First, slow travel speeds, maintain existing pavement
• Focus efforts for additional pavement in areas with greatest need
• Where additional pavement width is needed, carefully insert alterations to blend with existing topographic and drainage patterns
• In wooded areas, minimizing cut and fill sections in critical root zones
• Where additional pavement width is needed, consider the potential impact on operating speeds
• Where all else fails,, utilize the “share the road” signage noted above or pavement marking system

…What are the Next Steps
1. Interpretive Plan - funded 2. Route marking replacement signs (fewer
signs and coordinated with TAC signs) - funded
3. Establish nine-county coordinating committee (working through heritage areas and tourism offices)
4. Reference CMP in Comprehensive Plans in each jurisdiction – this will help in pursuing outside funding
5. Pursue outside funding for high priority projects
