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.
