        308A.1  DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND
      TRANSPORTATION COMMISSIONS TO COOPERATE.
         The department of natural resources, in consultation with the
      state transportation commission, is hereby authorized to establish
      recreational bikeways within this state for the use, enjoyment, and
      participation of the public in nonmotorized bicycling.  The routes
      established for such bikeways shall be designed to maximize the
      safety of cyclists and motorists and may utilize secondary roads when
      the normal flow of motor vehicle traffic will not be hindered, as
      well as other infrequently traveled roads, streets, parkways, and
      appropriate thoroughfares.  Such bikeways shall be routed, wherever
      possible, to allow the enjoyment of scenic views and points of
      historical interest, and may connect state parks and other
      recreational areas throughout the state.
         Bikeway routes shall be clearly marked with appropriate signs to
      guide cyclists and to alert motorists.  Such signs shall be placed at
      intervals and designed in such form as prescribed by the department
      of natural resources in consultation with the state transportation
      commission.
         The department of natural resources is hereby authorized to
      cooperate with county conservation boards, boards of supervisors,
      city councils, or any private organizations interested in the
      establishment of bikeways, and may consult with such groups in the
      planning of appropriate bikeway routes and related activities.
