Are designations of roads, trails, and areas for motor vehicle use permanent?
A. No. The final rule includes a process for revising designations (36 CFR 212.54). The agency expects that over time new roads and trails will be constructed and added to the designated system. Other existing roads and trails may be closed and removed from the designated system in response to environmental impacts or changing travel management needs. Revision of designations will include public involvement and appropriate environmental analysis.
