Road ecology blog: This road was recently upgraded from an unpaved road to a paved road. The road goes through a protected area in the "Serra da Pedra Selada" mountain range, and was designed as a "park road" (estrada-parque) with low design speed, low posted maximum speed, wildlife warning signs and crossing structures for terrestrial animals and arboreal mammals. The road goes through Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica).
