Section 23-1-291 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds that certain portions of
the state highway system provide access to state locales that are notable for their scenic,
natural, historic, recreational, cultural, and archaeological value and are therefore worthy
of designations as scenic byways in order to provide special consideration of their unique
features and special role in the highway system. The Legislature further finds that the public
interest would be served by the formation of a coordinated scenic byways program to enhance
recreational, cultural, and archaeological resources, encourage economic development through
tourism, improve the transportation system, and educate residents and visitors on the history,

Scenic Byways program. The Legislature recognizes that the application of this...

all of the following: (1) On Sunday, March 7, 1965, citizens participating in a peaceful march
while seeking their voting rights were beaten as they attempted to cross the Edmond Pettus

incidence of crimes which directly involve alcohol and drugs in this state is intolerable;
