Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed: (1) the design standards states use or plan to use to improve and reconstruct roads in scenic areas; and (2) what national design standards or guidance is available to states for improving and reconstructing such roads. GAO found that: (1) twenty-four of the 29 states surveyed use the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' guidance (green book) as their standard for improving or reconstructing their scenic byways; (2) the green book affords enough flexibility to preserve scenic resources while meeting the states' needs for mobility; (3) states rely on the green book because they are concerned that they may be sued for a deficient design if an accident occurs on a road that has been designed using an alternative design standard; (4) the remaining five states have developed or are planning to develop their own standards to avoid having to take design exceptions; (5) there are other sources available to states concerning the national guidance standards on geometric design, including the National Park Service's (NPS) Park Road Standards and the Transportation Research Board's (TRB) criteria for resurfacing, restoring, and rehabilitating roadways, which is referred to as the 3R criteria; (6) NPS standards give higher priority to scenic preservation, while the 3R criteria emphasize preserving the existing roadway; and (7) the issues in selecting the appropriate design standard for a scenic byway depends on the primary purpose of the road.

Virginia has had a scenic roads program since 1966 that provides for the designation of certain roads as Virginia Byways. This program does not require the application of any special technical requirements in the selection, designation, maintenance, or modification of these roads. The research reported herein was undertaken to determine (1) whether these Virginia Byways require special design considerations by virtue of their use, (2) what design elements that would be dictated if special design considerations were found to be appropriate, and (3) the degree to which current standards provide for these considerations. The institutional memory on the subject was reviewed, and current federal and state scenic roads programs were examined. It was concluded (1) that special design considerations are appropriate, (2) that design elements could be identified, and (3) that current design standards provide for neither the design considerations nor the resulting design elements. Recommendations are made for future practice and further research.
