Per CDOT’s Landscape Architecture Manual, overarching principles for aesthetic design of transportation systems include: 1. Consider the whole environment. 2. Create consistency throughout the state and within roadway corridors. 3. Develop elegant aesthetics as a result of well thought out and integrated engineering and consistent application of design principles to create a single project. 4. Create the roadway secondary to its environment. 5. Create the roadway character in response to the overall landscape, or design zone, of a place. 6. Avoid random changes in road segments or changing responses based on specific local conditions or piecemeal project construction. CDOT’s Landscape Architecture Manual and other landscape, aesthetic, and visual references are identified in Appendix A-4.
