The value of our county roads is found in the unique visual experience they offer. They appeal to a large tourist population, which accounts for a substantial portion of the San Juan County’s economy. The guide emphasizes that the aesthetic criteria and engineering requirements can be mutually beneficial. The goal of these guidelines is to implement rural road modifications which provide user safety, long range reduction of maintenance costs, and a roadway that is attractively integrated with the roadside and surrounding landscape.
