^ "with no public travel allowed"

The article is not clear:
Not even hiking off the road ?

OK, it says:
"The closure encompasses a 1.15-mile stretch of road that ends at Kite Lake"

How far off the road do I have walk to avoid a $5,000 fine ?

Here's the actual order from the FS: https://www.fs.usda.gov/sites/nfs/files ... losure.pdf

National Forest System Road 8 is located in the vicinity of the Kite lake Trailhead and is approximately 1.15 miles in length and 20 feet wide from the center of the road on each side . The road begins approximately 1 mile south of Kite Lake and ends at its intersection with the Forest Service Boundary
