Modified full-width mowing includes all unpaved right of way, except for delineated non-mow or natural areas.

To promote cost savings, on rural roadways with very wide rights-of-way or medians, mowing shall be limited to a maximum of 30 foot width.

Generally, non-mow or natural areas would begin at the toe of the slope in fill areas or the back of the ditch for cut sections, as long as clear zone requirements are met.

The frequency of modified full-width mowing for a given roadway will depend on the level of vegetation management assigned to that segment of roadway

as described in Chapter 1 of this manual
