Sounds to me like bureaucracy in action...noone really knows word one about the road, it's not just defined...all laws pertaining to use on that road are up to interpretation. You just have to find out who owns what sections of the road, find out when it stops being a "road", and find out what kind of trail it is from there on out. RS2477 will allow us to drive on it as a trail, if it's a road then it's up to the DOT to enforce any traffic on it, and I'd agree with Eric that if mushers have issue, they should just put it somewhere, because they're operating a non-dot approved/registered vehicle on a DOT registered Highway.
We need to stop speculating though and get down to it and find out what it is. That whole thing about private citizens using it for income is bogus....mushers have tours, snowmachiners have tours, there's a jeep tour in the summer....that's about the only income-related activity they can do out there is tourism....and if we're not making the road impassable for anyone, we're not interfering with their business.
