Nothing on these notices is entices people to walk on the Pinhoti, or informs them. Maps, lists of miles to interesting places, or photos might be inviting.

Blind Curve on US278 Photo taken by Dan Bedore 7 April 2020.

A hiker walks to the left of the highway, either adjacent to fast traffic, or in grass which is often tall and in wet, mushy soil. The Bypass is a dirt road which avoids almost all walking along the highway.

The gated dirt road / Traffic Bypass Route comes out of the woods just left / east of this picture, nearly across the road from the Pinhoti here.
