The design of roads in a museum environment with its historical image requires that attention be paid to some specific features. Experience with this kind of work in the Byelorussian ethnographic park showed that it was necessary to study not only the natural environment but also the historical regional principles of road design and the formation of the road's environment. The alignment of the road was designed both in correlation to its profile and as the borderline corresponding to some landscape forms, for example separating the cultivated plots of land. Use was made of the historical types of pavements, planting, and installation of traditional road signs. The investigation shows that the environmental approach must ensure coordination not only with the natural but also with the cultural and historical context of the environment.
