Forest Service Roads, FSR, Information:

Forest Service Roads are not constructed and maintained to the same standards as major public highways. Users should always drive according to the conditions and be prepared to take evasive action. Wash-outs, slides and blown-down trees can occur at any time and there may not be time and resources to post warning signs.

Please remember the following safety tips when traveling on Forest Service Roads:

• Drive with your lights on at all times --- day and night.
• Drive at a safe speed. You should always use caution and expect the unexpected. You must be able to stop safely in any emergency or in encountering unforeseen obstructions.
• Use seat belts while traveling on Forest Service Roads
• Please give logging trucks and other industrial traffic the right-of-way. Loaded logging trucks definitely have the right-of-weight! When you see a logging truck coming --- or any other heavy equipment --- get to a turn-out and let it by.
• Obey all road signs but do not expect the same level of signing as on public highways
• Taking large travel trailers on steep, rough, isolated and infrequently used roads can be dangerous. Loaded logging rigs can not back up steep grades so it is best to avoid the use of trailers on these roads
• Logging trucks take up a lot of room and Forest Service Roads are built for their use. It is essential that logging trucks and fire-fighting equipment be able to proceed without delay. Don’t stop on the road surface to sight see or hunt. If you do stop, park well off the road
