The map alsocontains a list of those designated roads, trails, and areasthat enumerates the types of vehicles that are allowed oneach route and in each area and any seasonal restrictionsthat apply on those routes and in those areas. Designation of a road, trail, or area for motor vehicleuse by a particular class of vehicle under 36 CFR 212.51should not be interpreted as encouraging or inviting use, orto imply that the road, trail or area is passable, activelymaintained, or safe for travel. Motor vehicle designationsinclude parking along designated routes and at facilitiesassociated with designated routes when it is safe to do soand when not causing damage to National Forest Systemresources. Seasonal weather conditions and naturalevents may render designated routes and trailsimpassable for extended periods. Designated areas maycontain dangerous or impassable terrain. Many designatedroads and trails may be passable only by high-clearancevehicles or four-wheel drive vehicles.
