Section 414-1-002 - PRINCIPLES
002.01 The foundation of this program is local initiative. Each successful applicant must have a committed Byway Management Team which will assume responsibility for the creation of a Byway Management Plan. Recommendations to the Director-State Engineer will be made by the Nebraska Scenic Byways Committee. The committee consists of representatives of the Nebraska Tourism Commission (NTC), the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR), the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC), the Nebraska State Historical Society (NSHS), and the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (NDNR).
002.02 The Nebraska Scenic Byway Program will conform with federal and state laws and regulations regarding advertising signs. Designation as a Scenic Byway is not intended to affect future roadway design or construction. Designation also will not change the existing state or federal classification of the roadway, or by itself justify or lend credence to highway improvements that are not otherwise needed.
002.03 Highway corridors designated as Nebraska Scenic Byways will receive the following program benefits from the member state agencies of the Nebraska Scenic Byways Committee:
002.03A Assistance with Byway-Related Signs (NDOR),
002.03B Recognition on the official Nebraska State Road Map (NDOR),
002.03C Marketing Assistance (NTC),
002.03D Byway Planning Assistance (NSHS, NTC, NDNR, NGPC).
002.04 The Nebraska Scenic Byways Program will be easy to access and easy to understand.
002.05 This program will result in no more than ten total designations (there may be fewer).
