Repeated cross-country motor vehicle use has often created unplanned, user-created trails. How will these user-created routes be managed under the final rule?
A. Some user-created routes are well-sited, provide good recreation without resource damage, and would enhance a system of designated routes and areas. Other user-created routes are poorly located and cause resource damage. Local officials with first-hand knowledge of the particular situation will study user-created routes, working closely with local governments, users, and other interested people. Some user-created routes may become part of the designated system of roads and trails. Those not designated will be closed to motor vehicle use.
