Highway Signs
Recent posting of signs on Al
aska highways by the Alaska
Road Commission to indicate
width of right-of-way has caused
some concern among land owners,
and considerable conjecture and
comment in the public press.
The action is not intended to
disturb or question the prior legal
rights of entrymen, homesteaders,
or other claimants whose proper
ties parallel the highways.
The signs are being installed to
alert the public to the existence
of public laws, land orders and
departmental orders of the Inter
ior Department governing right
of-way widths for highways in
public domain, or across lands
which have been acquired sub
sequent to the effective date of
such laws or orders. For the pur
pose of defining these widths, the
highway system has been classi
fied into through roads, feeder
roads, and local roads with right
of way widths of 300, 200, and
100 feet respectively, one-half of
such width on each side of the
centerline of the road.
Posting will continue on all
roads; but consideration will be
given to those land owners who
are not subject to thesg recent
land laws by placing the signs
elsewhere, rather than adjacent
to such excepted lands.
