        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.
