Although the first concept of Parkway design was envisioned by Pierre L'Enfant in his 18th century plan, the concept of a parkway in Washington, D.C. was not approved until 1902. At that time, Parkways were designed for use by bicyclists and horse-drawn carriages.
There are no tolls or fees for use on the parkway. There are no trucks allowed on the parkway.
The United States Park Police patrol the parkway.
