| − | These areas include all undeveloped areas on divided highways. The height of the vegetation should be maintained between 6 and 18 inches. Mowing should begin when 50 percent of the vegetation reaches 18 inches in height.

| − | Vegetation control ([[822.7 Definitions#PGR|PGR]] or mowing) should be done on all medians narrower than 100 ft. wide. Medians 100 to 150 ft. wide may be managed at the district's discretion and is dependent on the type of terrain. When the median is over 150 ft. wide, vegetation control may be completed out to a distance of 30 ft. from the edge of the nearest traveled way. This is intended to be one pass with the type of equipment used.

| − | Mowing interchanges requires a large resource commitment. Each interchange should be evaluated as to the extent of vegetation control needed. Vegetation control ([[822.7 Definitions#PGR|PGR]] or mowing) may be done on the interior of interchanges, if necessary, where slopes are 3 to 1 or flatter. It may extend to 30 ft. from the edge of the nearest traveled way. This is intended to be one pass with the type of equipment used.

This is intended to be one pass with the type of equipment used. Do not leave a narrow strip (narrower than 30 ft.) between the main roadway and outer roads. | |
