relative to aesthetics and safety that are contained in the road's
corridor management plan.

that has been designated by the federal government as an All-American
Road on or before April 30, 2002, shall be maintained and operated
by the department consistent with the recommendations for
context-sensitive design standards relative to aesthetics and safety
that are contained in the corridor management plan submitted to the
