Special Conditions and Boundary Notes
- Gated corridor: Hurricane Mountain Road (Bartlett) from the junction with US-302 and NH-16 to the Conway town line is listed as GATED on the viewer. Confirm physical access before routing through this segment regardless of restriction status.
- Defined segment example NH-116: The viewer lists NH RT 116 from County Road in Haverhill to Rte. 112 in Easton (7.96 miles), illustrating that restrictions apply to defined segment endpoints, not entire route lengths.
- Parallel town restriction North Groton Road: NHDOT posts North Groton Road (Groton) only within its maintenance limits. The viewer notes: "The Town of Groton posts North Groton Road from Halls Brook Road west to the Groton/Dorchester town line" that western segment is a separate town-level restriction outside NHDOT scope.
- Historical note River Road: The River Rd entry (Jct w/US-302 & NH-16 to West Side Rd) includes a notation referencing Spring of 2014, indicating a long-standing restriction on this corridor.
- Maintenance boundary endpoints: Multiple segment entries explicitly define restriction endpoints as the limit of NHDOT maintenance or a town boundary. Restrictions do not extend beyond these points.
- Districts 14 all active: The viewer shows active restrictions spanning all four NHDOT districts simultaneously.

- State highways and state-maintained secondary roads only. Local and town-maintained roads are not covered by this program. Do not assume a road is unrestricted solely because it does not appear on the NHDOT list check with the municipality if town roads are on your route.
